 中華人民共和国の首都、北京。この地が栄えたのは紀元前5世紀くらいからだそうで、その後は一時南京に首都の座を譲るものの、幾千年にわたって広大な中国を治める王朝の都として繁栄した。街路は碁盤目状に整い、その中心は故宮(紫禁城)だ。映画「ラストエンペラー」で若き皇帝が戴冠されたのが紫禁城だった。現在では、人口1200万人を超える、世界のメガシティーのひとつでもある。2008年にはオリンピックが開催される。
 お隣の超大国、中国には一度だけ、それも10年ほどまえに2週間ほど滞在した。北京は町中が「歴史博物館」のような都市だ。到着早々、ホテルは「北京飯店」と聞いて、「レストランに泊まるの?」と思ったら、これが由緒あるホテルとのこと。天安門広場から故宮の周りを巡り早朝の散歩を楽しんだ。郊外にも足を伸ばして、万里の長城に登る。長城は人間が作ったとは思えないほど長大(6700km)だ。真偽のほどは定かでないが、月からも見える地上唯一の工作物だそうだ。
 幾千年の大都、北京の今、お楽しみください。

    Peking is the capital city of the People's Republic of China.  This was established in around B.C. 5th Century, and has since prospered as the capital, except in a short break when the capital was moved to Nanjin.  Peking has a grid-like streets in the city, the center of which is the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden city.  This is where the young emperor was crowned as in the movie, "The Last Emperor".  At present, the city is one of the mega-cities in the world with a population exceeding 12 million.  In 2008, the Olympic Games will come to Peking.
     I went to China and stayed for a few weeks about 10 years ago.  Peking looked like a history museum by itself in open space.  In an early morning, I set out for a walk in the city, from Tiananmen Square all the way around the Palace.  On another day, I had a chance to go out to suburbs and climbed the Great Walls.  These walls were so astoundingly long (6,700 km in total length) as to look almost divine.  Some say that these are the only human structure on the earth that could be seen from the Moon.  I have no way to confirm if this is true or not.
    Enjoy the Great City of the thousands of years.
