 The mind boggling Forbidden City is the quintessence of ancient Chinese architectural art. Other attractions in and around the city include Tiananmen Square, The Tanzhe Temple, the Summer Palace and the emperors?tombs. However, something from the past that is becoming less visible is Chinese people in Mao suits, bicycles rolling the streets and old residential areas of Hutong. Beijing is now a modern city and its modernity is expanding at rapid pace.
 Gleaming high rise buildings, extended subway routes, western food restaurants and cafes, luxurious hotels and upscale department stores flank wide manicured streets. With the influx of technology and foreign culture, people living in Beijing have seen their life style changed for the past ten years. The roads in rush hour are filled with cars in stead of bicycles. Mobile phones are an essential part of everyday life
