Beijing (Chinese: 北京 ; Pinyin: Běijīng; IPA: [pei˨˩ tɕɪŋ˥˥]), a metropolis in northern China, is the capital of the People's Republic of China (PRC). It was formerly known in English as Peking or Peiking [English Pronunciation]. Beijing is also one of the four municipalities of the PRC, which are equivalent to provinces in China's administrative structure. Beijing Municipality borders Hebei Province to the north, west, south, and for a small section in the east, and Tianjin Municipality to the southeast.
The Beijing Subway (Traditional Chinese: 北京地鐵; Simplified Chinese: 北京地铁; pinyin: běi jīng dì tiě) is a rapid transit system that serves downtown Beijing and its various outlying suburbs. It is a very minimal system given the population density of Beijing, though the system is being expanded for the 2008 Olympic Games.
