The numerous royal buildings with long history endow Beijing with incomparable charm, not only the 'Nation's Best' but also the 'World's Best'. As the host city of the 2008 Olympic Games, this oriental ancient city presented her best fashion fascination to the world and has become one of the most popular destinations in the world, with about 4.5 million international visitors each year.
Beijing Tour Attractions
The magnificent Forbidden City is the largest and the best-preserved imperial palace complex in the world. It has 9,999 rooms in flourishing period with just a single room short of the number that ancient Chinese belief represents 'Divine Perfection' and surrounded by a moat six meters deep and ten-meter high wall. For five centuries, this palace functioned as the administrative center of the country.
The Great Wall of China is one of the 'Eight Wonders of the World' and is enlisted in the World
Heritage Directory. This immense wall was built to keep out invaders as well as to retain the
inhabitants. It spans five provinces from Shanhaiguan Pass in the east to Jiayuguan Pass in the
west, looking like a gigantic dragon across deserts, grasslands and mountains.
The solemn and respectful Tiananmen Square is the largest central city square in the
world, which serves not only Beijing's symbol but also the whole of China. This immense
courtyard is the site of various historical events, which is surrounded by a variety of
significant edifices such as the Great Hall of the People, the Mao Zedong Memorial Hall and the
Monument to the People's Heroes.
Beijing has been the capital city of several Dynasties. Besides the spectacular imperial
palaces, it also possesses the most luxurious royal gardens - the well-preserved Summer Palace with
an area of 727 acres, the elegant Beihai Park and the destroyed Old Summer Palace. On the other
hand, those Emperors also constructed spectacular mausoleums for themselves. The Ming Tombs of
the 13 emperors should be the most excellent necropolis.
If you would like to experience the local life, there is no better place to start than the Beijing's
Hutongs and Courtyards. The Prince Gong's Mansion should be the most
magnificent courtyard. Other famous
historical sites include the Beijing Bell and Drum Towers, the Liulichang Street for people interested in
Chinese calligraphy, painting or other artwork, and the Lugou Bridge carved with marvelous stone
lions, etc.
