[00:00.00]Beijing has changed rapidly

[00:03.35]in the last twenty years or so.

[00:05.34]Travellers of the 1920s remember it

[00:07.84]mainly as a city of busy lanes 1

[00:09.76]with homes built around courtyards,

[00:12.29]but these have given way to the high-rise

[00:14.30]apartment blocks of the 21st century.

[00:17.50]TV sets and washing machines--

[00:19.57]unimaginable luxuries 2 in the 1970s--

[00:22.27]are now commonplace 3 and the bicycles

[00:24.63]that were the main form of transport

[00:26.35]a few decades ago are now prohibited 4

[00:28.70]on the highways that circle the city.

[00:31.04]Luxury products that were not even

[00:33.02]imagined 30 years ago,

[00:34.65]are now available to anyone who has the desire

[00:37.51]and spare cash to buy them.

[00:39.82]The Beijing of today is still changing,

[00:42.88]so rapidly in fact,

[00:44.37]that maps of the ticy go out of date almost

[00:47.16]as soon as they are published!

[00:49.22]A street that had two restaurants last month,

[00:51.77]may have four or more this month!

[00:51.77]
