The Beijing Tourism Administration has joined hands with Pegasus&Taihe International to present a 90-minute promotion film on Beijing.

Revolving around Beijing's culture, greenery, night-life and fashion trends, Beijing 2008 portrays a metropolis prepared to host an Olympic Games and everything that involves. Highlights include intense colors, fast-moving takes and clips of local people and international expats talking about life here.

Famous director Feng Xiaogang and his crew have depicted his hometown from 80,000 takes and 500 hours of footage.

The film's 12-minute trailer will soon be shown inside railway stations, airports and buses and the final version will hit theaters this year. About 30,000 DVDs will be gifted to foreign reporters covering the Olympic Games.
