The protection of Beijing's precious cultural relics need not be at odds with the capital's fast economic development, delegates said at the city's annual legislative meeting on Sunday.
The city will build one or two children's hospitals within the next five years, according to the draft plan of Beijing's 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) released on Sunday morning.

Western appliances are not available in most Beijing department stores, but Western-style kitchen equipment is growing in popularity and availability ?you just need to know where to look.
