★ Tourism

Tian'anmen Square

Tian'anmen Square is one of the largest city squares in the world. It is situated in the heart of Beijing. Tian'anmen was built in 1417 and was the entrance gate to the Forbidden City. Now the square stretches 880 meters from north to south and 500 meters from east to west. The total area is 440,000 square meters. That's about the size of 60 soccer fields, spacious enough to accommodate half a million people.

The Great Wall

The Great Wall of China is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in northern China, built originally to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire against intrusions by various nomadic groups. Several walls have been built since the 5th century BC that are referred to collectively as the Great Wall, which has been rebuilt and maintained from the 5th century BC through the 16th century. One of the most famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains; the majority of the existing wall was built during the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Tombs

The Ming Tombs are located in the northwestern suburbs of Beijing, about fifty kilometers from the city. They are the tombs of thirteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 A.D).

Dingling is the tomb of the tenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty and his two empresses. Its underground palace was the first of the underground structures excavated between 1956 and 1957.

Dingling consists of five chambers, all built of stone. Its total area is 1,195 square meters. The Ante-chamber and the Central Chamber are 7.2 meters high each. Two Side Chambers are 7.1 meters high each. In the Central Chamber there are three thrones. The Back Chamber, 9.5 meters high, is the place where the coffins are kept.

The grave goods of Dingling number over 3,000 pieces in all, including gold, silver, pearls, jewels, jadeware, chinaware, lacquerware, silk goods.

Fragrant Hills

Another name for Fragrance Hill is Garden of Tranquility and Pleasure. It is located in the west suburbs of Haidian District with a total area of 160 ha. and the peak of 557m high, 25km far from the central city. As a very famous garden in Beijing, it can be traced back to Jin Dynasty when the emperor built the Big Yong'an Temple, also known as Sweet Dew Temple. The emperor built his temporary dwelling palace next to this temple from one generation to another and the name Garden of Tranquility and Pleasure was given in the 10th year of Emperor Qianlong (1745).

Beihai Park

It is the earliest royal palace garden park. It is located in Xicheng District Wenjin Street No. 1 (North of the Imperial Palace). It is around the Imperial Palace, Jingshan Hill and Zhongnanhai Park and so on.

The Summer Palace

The Summer Palace is a palace in Beijing, China. The Summer Palace is mainly dominated by Longevity Hill and the Kunming Lake. It covers an expanse of 2.9 square kilometers, three quarters of which is water.

Longevity Hill is about 60 meters (200 feet) high and houses many buildings positioned in sequence. The front hill is rich in the splendid halls and pavilions, while the back hill, in sharp contrast, is quiet with natural beauty.

The central Kunming Lake covering 2.2 square kilometers was entirely man made and the excavated soil was used to build Longevity Hill. In the Summer Palace, one finds a variety of palaces, gardens, and other classical-style architectural structures.

In December 1998, UNESCO included the Summer Palace on its World Heritage List. It declared the Summer Palace "a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design. The natural landscape of hills and open water is combined with artificial features such as pavilions, halls, palaces, temples and bridges to form a harmonious ensemble of outstanding aesthetic value." It is a popular tourist destination but also serves as a recreational park.
