As the capital of the People's Republic of China, Beijing is located in northern China. The city covers an area of more than 16,410 square kilometers (6336 square miles) and has a population of 14.93 million people. Beijing (or Jing for short)  is the nation's political, economic, cultural and educational center as well as China's most important center for international trade and communications. It is one of  the six ancient cities in China.
 Records show that Beijing has been an inhabited city for more than three thousand years and has endured invasions by warlords and foreign powers, devastating fires, the rise and fall of powerful imperial dynasties and has emerged each time as a strong and vibrant city. For more than 800 years, Beijing was a capital city - from the Yuan Dynasty (1271 - 1368) to the Ming (1368 - 1644) and Qing (1644 - 1911) dynasties. Thirty-four emperors have lived and ruled the nation in Beijing and it has been an important trading city from its earliest days.  Nowadays Beijing is a modern and fashionable city complete with a full 21st Century vitality.
