As the capital of the People’s Republic of China, Beijing is the nation’s political, economic, cultural and educational center. It has been the heart and soul of politics and society throughout its long history. Because of its role in the life and growth of China, there is an unequalled wealth available for travelers to discover as you explore Beijing’s ancient past and enjoy its exciting 21st Century world. In 2008 Beijing successfully held the Olympic Games. Beijing showed the world something so special that everyone was awestruck by Beijing’s latest accomplishments combined with its ancient history.
TOP Attractions in Beijing,NO1: Great Wall of China
As a symbol of ancient Chinese civilization, Great Wall of China has stood for more than 2,000 years. The Great wall of China was built in stages from the 5th century BC up to the 16th century AD as protection against northern nomadic tribes. Stretching from the coast of the Bohai Bay in the east and ending at the Jiayu Pass in the west, it snakes along the back of mountains, deserts and valleys for
TOP Attractions in Beijing ,NO2: Forbidden City
To many, many people, Beijing is an ancient capital city in the east. Forbidden City is the right place for you to start your Beijing tour by unveiling its mysterious face. Consisting of over 9,000 rooms and spread over 250 acres, this large palace complex was built between 1406 and 1420, but was burnt down, rebuilt, sacked and renovated countless times, so most of the architecture you can see today dates from the 18th century and on wards during the Qing Dynasty. Wear comfortable shoes as you have to walk a lot! I highly recommend going with a guide. It really is helpful to have a guide explain the stories behind the site and tell you about the important historical parts in the forbidden city. Or if you are non-group tourists, I suggest you rent multi lingual guide recorder either at Meridian Gate ( southern gate of Forbidden city ) or the Gate of Divine Prowess (Northern gate of Forbidden City) and return it when you finish your tour of Forbidden City. After you visit the Imperial Palace and go out of the Gate of Divine Prowess, you can enter into Jingshan Park, climb a bit and overlook the panorama of the Imperial Palace. In the evening, especially in summer, Forbidden City is brilliant. Colored lights from all directions lighten Meridian Gate, the Gate of Divine Prowess, turret, palace wall and other main palaces.
TOP Attractions in Beijing ,NO3: Beihai Park
It took 13 years, from 1166 to 1179, to complete the first stage of this format royal garden Taining (Supreme Tranquility) Palace, and another three dynasties, the Yuan, Ming and Qing, before its hills were fully developed and the waters that cover two-thirds of its 68.2 hectares (170 acres) rested in their homes.Today, it is centered on Qionghua (Gem) Island, where the white pagoda that symbolizes the park sits beautifully amid trees, pavilions, platforms and delicate design houses. Scattered around the park are the Tuan Cheng (Round town), Yong’an (Eternal Peace) Temple, the Paradise Hall and the Nine-Dragon Screen, one of China’s few remaining wall-screens.
TOP Attractions in Beijing ,NO4: Summer Palace
Summer Palace is a favorite among tourists sightseeing in Beijing. Indeed, it is one of the best parks in the city. Originally it was a retreat for emperors to escape the scorching summer heat of Beijing. The Summer Palace was used by emperors for 800 years, but fell into disuse in the 18th century. Then in the 19th century, the Empress Dowager Cixi made massive renovations and restored many buildings using money funneled out from the state treasury.
TOP Attractions in Beijing ,NO5: Ming Tombs
This is an amazing site for many reasons. First, it is outside Beijing, so you have a chance to escape the city and see a bit of the countryside. Second, it is relatively near the Great Wall, so you can visit both in one day. Third, the tomb itself is an eye opener. Some 50 kilometers northwest of the downtown Beijing, known as the “13 Tombs”, this is the burial site of 13 out of 17 emperors of the Ming Dynasty. There are just two tombs which have been excavated and open to the public: Dingling and Changling. Changling is the first tomb to be built. It took 2 years for renovation, and was opened in 1958. Dingling has been excavated so thoroughly that one has to get into the burial chamber itself. However, it is a very steep climb down and people who have problems with their heart or kneels are not suggested to visit the underground tomb. For wheel-chair users or those who don’t want to go deep inside a tomb, I recommend Changling Tomb.
besides what we list there are many Other Beijing attractions we did not listed on this pag,for example Olympic Sites, Beijing Opera, National Grand Theatre… Enjoy your trip to beijing , one of the most charming city in the world.
