Peking Surprises Visitors With Hillside Splendor and Ancient Walls
The National Geographic survey portrays Peking as more than a historic city. It blends corrupt offices with thriving learning centers like the University of Peking and Chin Hwa College, fueling a liberal movement among students that shapes modern China. The Western Hills lure visitors by rickshaw to sights such as the Sunmer Palace and the Jade Fountain pagoda, while a journey to the Great Wall reveals a long, undulating barrier that appears modest at first but unfolds across the mountains.
