Peking ist die Hauptstadt der Volksrepublik China und hat eine über dreitausendjährige Geschichte. Der Name bedeutet Nördliche Hauptstadt. Peking ist heute eine regierungsunmittelbare Stadt, das heißt, sie ist direkt der Zentralregierung unterstellt und damit Provinzen, autonomen Gebieten und Sonderverwaltungszonen gleichgestellt.
Das gesamte 16.807 Quadratkilometer große Verwaltungsgebiet Pekings hat 20,69 Millionen Einwohner. Es stellt kein zusammenhängendes Stadtgebiet dar, mit seiner dominierenden ländlichen Siedlungsstruktur ist es eher mit einer Provinz vergleichbar. Von der Gesamtbevölkerung sind 11,8 Millionen registrierte Bewohner mit ständigem Wohnsitz und 7,7 Millionen temporäre Einwohner mit befristeter Aufenthaltsgenehmigung. Wird die Kernstadt als Grundlage genommen, leben in Peking 7,7 Millionen Menschen mit Hauptwohnsitz. Der Ballungsraum hat 11,8 Millionen Einwohner.
