While China and Beijing are rapidly modernizing, preparing to host the Olympics in 2008, the city center still offers a fascinating look into China's ancient history and culture, boosting attractions such as the Forbidden City, Tian'anmen Square, the Drum and Bell Tower and the countless narrow lanes called Hutongs, the heart of Beijing's folk customs.
