China's first capital.

4. China in Transition, Part 4
China is changing rapidly and every time I go, I discover evidence showing how fast. On the trip toXian, we traveled eight hundred miles from Shanghai to Beijing by rail in a modern, sleeper car. We spent three days in Beijing before boarding a flight to Xian. This would be my third visit to the ancient, former capital of China. My first was in 1999.
