Beijing thrives as the political and cultural capital of China but it also kept its roots and traditions. Cars are plentiful but people still bike everywhere, older people hang out in traditional parks and not around the Bird Nest, calligraphy is still an art that is practiced in the street and many traditions are still followed. This is also Beijing.
