120English is not widely spoken in China, apart from in Hong Kong. Outside of, and even inside, big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, you will frequently find English is useless, so avail yourself of the written Chinese in this book for Chinese phrases and as a guide to pronunciation. For first-time users of the language, Chinese pronunciation is tricky and getting the correct tone harder still, while showing the written Chinese to a local person immediately conveys the meaning. Youth hostels often have the best English-speaking staff so never assume the more expensive a hotel, the better the English level of the staff. Even at five-star hotels, you may encounter incomprehension. Restaurants in this book with English menus come with an English menu icon (

Beijing is one of Chinas true ancient citadels. It is also a confident and modern city that seems assured of its destiny to rule over China till the end of time. Its architecture traces every mood swing from Mongol times to the present, from neglected hutong (alleyways) to bomb shelters scooped out during the 1970s and the shimmering baubles of contemporary architects.
Its Beijings epic imperial grandeur that is awe-inspiring, and theres still much more substance here than in Chinas other dynastic capitals, bar Nanjing or Kaifeng. You just need to do a bit of patient exploration to tap into its historical narrative.
