Beijing

Beijing is the capital of China, with a history spanning over 3,000 years. It served as the seat of imperial power during several dynasties, most notably the Ming and Qing, leaving behind iconic sites like the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven. Today, it is a vast modern metropolis and political center, while meticulously preserving its ancient architectural and cultural heritage.

Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics

The Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, officially the 2026 Games, will be the first Winter Olympics hosted across two distinct Italian regions: Lombardy in the north and Veneto in the northeast. This marks Italy’s third time hosting the Winter Games, following Cortina d’Ampezzo in 1956 and Turin in 2006, and will utilize many existing venues from those prior events to emphasize sustainability.
