Beijing - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography (5764 words)
Formerly within the confines of the 2nd Ring Road and the 3rd Ring Road, the urban area of Beijing is now pushing at the limits of the recently-constructed 5th Ring Road and 6th Ring Road (currently under construction), with many areas that were formerly farmland now developed residential or commercial neighborhoods.
Beijing is situated at the northern tip of the roughly triangular North China Plain which opens to the south and east of the city.
Mountains to the north, northwest and west shield the city and northern China's agricultural heartland from the encroaching desert steppes.
