Old
meets new every where in Beijing-the ancient Forbidden City is overlooked
by skyscrapers, the famous Great Wall pass north of the city proper
is now surrounded by car parks, the centuries old observatory stands
nest to a motor flyover, old court houses are dotted with glittering
supermarkets, broad tar-paved avenues are flooded by millions of bicycles,
ringing an echo of jingle bells, and damp underground tombs of the
bygone emperors are illuminated by electric lighting.
北京的新旧交替随处可见，高楼大厦俯视着这座古老的紫禁城。向北延伸的著名的长城被现代停车场所围绕，古老的天文台旁边就是高架桥，老式的王府周围随处可见醒目的超市。宽敞的柏油路被成千上万的自行车所淹没，回荡着叮呤的玲声。已逝皇帝的潮湿的坟墓被霓虹灯装点着。
And almost all of the visitors in Beijing are
attracted and fascinated by the special charm of the Chinese capital
city.
几乎所有去北京的游客都被中国首都的独特魅力所吸引。
During festivities
or political gatherings, the square is alive with people, red flags,
lights and music.
在节日或政治活动期间，广场上充满了人群，红旗和音乐。
Beijing not
only ranks high among the tourist destinations in the world, but also
becomes the capital of Chinese cuisine.
北京不仅是世界旅游胜地，而且也是中国的饮食之都。
