Nevertheless, the people of Beijing boast a rich culture which has been preserved through a long line of dynasties. Go on a historical tour to uncover the traditional values and customs of the Beijing people and understand who they really are. Make use of the tips on learning the language, finding a place to live as well as staying healthy and safe. CultureShock! Beijing is the essential guide that will help anyone overcome the cultural barriers and fully settle into this Chinese city as it takes a bumpy journey towards modernisation.
