The
Great Wall (Chang Cheng) - a symbol of Chinese genius. 6350km
long and taking 2000 years to complete, it extends across northern
China. "He who has not climbed up the Great Wall is no hero,"
a Chinese saying goes.
Ming
Tombs - the general name given to the mausoleums of 13 emperors
of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644). The site has a high cultural
and historic value because of its long history, palatial and integrated
architecture.
Tiananmen
Square - sits at the very heart of Beijing, measuring 40 hectares
and can accommodate up to one million people. It is one of Beijing's
most modern sites and largely Mao's concoction. This is not only
the physical centre of China, but also the centre of power and politics.
A must- see for travelers to Beijing.
Forbidden
City - also called the Palace Museum which is in the heart
of Beijing city, was the residence of the ancient rulers of China.
Occupies 72,000sq km, the entry was forbidden to all but those on
imperial business until 1911. The wall is 10 meters high and measures
760 meters from east to west and 960 meters from north to south.
Inside the enclosure are 999.5 rooms. For more than 500 years, 24
emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties lived in there.
The
Temple of Heaven - built in 1420. China's most famous temple
where emperors used to come to pray for a good harvest during the
first lunar month of each year. It covers an area twice as big as
that of the Forbidden City and actually is a royal garden with large
tracts of wooded land but few buildings.
Summer
Palace & Kunming Lake - the largest ancient preserved garden
in China and a former summer retreat for Emperors. The site includes
more than 100 ancient style pavilions, mansions, towers, halls,
temples, bridges and an enormous clear water lake. Occupying an
area of 290 acres, the Palace is as vast as it is spectacular. A
rare chance in Beijing, to relax and escape the smoke and crowds
of the city.
Hou
Hai - Young generation of Beijing citizens call Hou Hai 'a Paradise
of the city', for it's romantic atmosphere created by the lake and
the pubs and bars alongside. A worthwhile place for a visit to see
the Chinese culture mix with the west.
Wangfujing
Street & Donghuamen - has a history of more than
100 years. The street, which is less than one kilometer long, is
lined with shops. The best-known shop is the Beijing Department
Store. The Oriental Plaza, which is considered another miracle in
Chinese architectural history, stands just by the south entrance
of Wangfujing.
Beijing
Roast Duck dish dates back to the Ming Dynasty, about 600 years
ago. Almost every part of the duck (except the feathers) can be
made into hot or cold dishes. This is called the "Complete
Duck Feast". The duck head is usuallyfor the guest of honors,
but if you cannot face it you do not have to eat it.
