| With all the hoopla of the 2008 Olympics dying down, it's time to start focusing on the real magic of Beijing – its rich history and culture, a whopping 27,000 years' worth of them. Such can be witnessed in the legendary Forbidden City and by paying a visit to the many UNESCO World Heritage Sites, like the Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven, and the famed Great Wall of China, where you can witness the grandness of the Chinese empire like it was only yesterday.
Beyond its history, you can immerse yourself in the illustrious Chinese culture by enjoying authentic Mandarin cuisine and attending the world-famous Beijing Opera. You can also enjoy Beijing's flourishing nightlife, and shop for the delicate porcelain and lacquerware that the Chinese are known for. Truly, Beijing is magical, and it's magic that you can't possibly miss!
