Beijing is a city of contrasts. Modern Beijing moves to the frantic beat of pounding jackhammers at a thousand construction sites, but leisurely games of Chinese checkers in neighborhood parks remind you that traditional Chinese life is alive and well. Dirt-cheap food stalls line the streets outside über-chic restaurants, and Ferraris cruise alongside Beijing’s trademark Flying Pigeon bicycles. And though new designer malls are everywhere you look, so are people wearing Mao suits.
