Beijing municipality, capital of the People's Republic of China (short name 京)

Since the mid-20th century, the number of hutongs in Beijing has dropped dramatically as they are demolished to make way for new roads and buildings.

Are there any aspects of Shanghai that are not as good as those of Beijing?

Because of heavy snow, the plane from Beijing arrived 20 minutes late.

I studied Chinese in Beijing.

In Beijing, hutongs are alleys formed by lines of siheyuans, the traditional courtyard residences.
