City Of Heavenly Tranquillity
The great city of Beijing, capital of China from the ninth century, was for a millennium one of the most extraordinary places on earth. At a time when London, Paris, or Rome had only several hundred thousand residents, Beijing held over a million. This book presents the history of this great city, and provides a summary history of China.
