Beijing is one of the four oldest cities in China, with a rich history of 3,000 years. It is also one of the most well-preserved ancient cities in the world, with numerous cultural and historical treasures. It has served as the capital for nearly 700 years and the center of power for six ancient dynasties, including the Yuan, Ming, and Qing empires, which were among the largest and strongest in history.
The area around Beijing was home to some of the earliest human beings, as evidenced by prehistoric fossils. In the period from 1918 to 1939, the fossil remains of the Peking man (who lived around 770,000 to 230,000 years ago) and Upper Caveman (who lived around 50,000 years ago) were discovered at Zhoukoudian.
