[QUOTE=777-100SP;11008469I have not been to PEK but I would lean towards TPE. PEK is better for those who like to go to dictatorships. For example, some really want to go to Cuba. Why? Because it's illegal?

Virtualtourist.com and lonelyplanet are travel websites. Read those and decide for yourself since travel is a very personal experience.[/QUOTE]

Perhaps more objective advice than 777-100SP will come from those who have actually visitd both cities

I have, PEK wins hands down

btw, visiting Cuba is not illegal for most people
