Beijing has been spiritually and politically the heart of China for several hundreds of years. This beautiful city has many of the grandest remnants of the Imperial Age, but is also a modern city, merging international civilizations, sciences and technologies. IVC-18 is being held very close to the main site of the 2008 Olympic Games. A new fascinating Beijing will welcome your arrival!
