Brief Introduction of Beijing
As the capital of the People's Republic of China, Beijing is the center of the nation's politics, culture and international exchanges and a modem metropolis full of vitality, hosting more travelers than any other city in China, and for good reason, because no other city offers so many marvels, ancient and modern. No city is more important in recent Chinese history--and more of that history is on display here than anywhere else.
Main Attractions
Badaling Great Wall is one of the best preserved segments and the highest point of the Great Wall.
Tiananmen Square is the symbolical heart of China and gathering place for the masses. It is the largest public square in the world, which can hold one million people.
Forbidden City, the inner sanctum and palace where for centuries Chinese emperors ruled their world. It has 9000-room maze of courtyards, places, and ceremonial halls, where 24 emperors used to live.
Temple of Heaven was built in the 15th century, a sacred site for ancient Beijing, where the emperor and his 1000 member entourage would retreat twice a year for religious ritual.
