Description
Summary:	Beijing sits in one of the most contested corners of China on the front line between the ethnic or Han Chinese and the nomadic peoples of Central Asia . It has been conquered and re-conquered, a repeated battleground between some of the most powerful empires in the world. Conquerors had been lured by the power it commands, rulers seduced by the decadence within. Beijing bears their marks today. Myths surround the warriors who defended its name. Legends have been sacrificed for its honor.
