How did the Japanese occupation in 1937 impact Beijing? Why was the city wall torn down? What did the decision to move the capital in 1928 mean to Beijing? When did Beijing get its first tramway system and why was it smashed up by 50.000 angry rickshaw pullers? What was Wanfujing called during the Cultural Revolution? Utilizing maps from Beijing Postcards own collection we will answer these questions and more, and together the history of how Beijing developed over the course of the last hundred years to become the city it is today.

The first one takes on the first 2000 years of Beijing history and the other discusses how modernity emerged and Beijing became the city it is today over the course of the last 100 years.
