The Peking people are the people of Beijing. Peking is simply the Romanized version of the Chinese city of Beijing.
The Forbidden City in Beijing, China, contains the imperial court of former Chinese rulers. Ordinary Chinese citizens were forbidden to enter it until the last Chinese Emperor lost his powers in 1912.
Beijing is the real name for the capital city of China. 'Peking' is the British form because of their poor chinese back in history. (I revise you, don't go walking around Chinese people and speaking about Beijing and calling it Peking instead. Some Chinese people either get offended or really irritated by this.)
# It is not a country it is a city in China # It is the capital of China # It contains the Forbidden City, the home of the Chinese Emperors.
