Beijing (北京), the capital of China and the venue for the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, reminds me of a Chinese song every time. Not an Olympic song about Beijing but is an old song (I heard it during my high school days) called 北京一夜 (One Night in Beijing) by Chen Sheng (陈升)and Liu Jia Hui (刘佳慧).

Here’s the very original version of “One Night in Beijing”

Of course, such a great song is sung and converted into many versions by many singers such as…

The Heavenly Queens & King, Faye Wong (王菲), Na Ying (那英) and Jeff Chang (张信哲).

The rock version by Taiwanese band, Shin (信乐团).

Last but not least, my personal favourite by Aya Matsuura (松浦 亜弥), a Hello! Project member (former Morning Musume).
