Wan Li Chang Cheng/Great Wall

The most famous and monumental attraction in probably the whole of China; The Great Wall. The Wall runs for about 4,500 miles including all of the

branches. It was originally built to keep out the Mongolians from invading China. It not only acted as a barrier, but was useful in warning people that

attackers were coming

The Summer Palace is considered one of the most

scenic and beautiful gardens in China. The

imperial residences were first built on Kunming Lake 1153 and then in 1888 it was reconstructed by the

Empress Dowager Ci Xi. Yi He Yuan can be translated as The Garden of Health

and Harmony

democracy

Tian Tan/Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven was built in 1420. It is a dignified complex of fine buildings set in gardens and surrounded

by historic pine woods.

numerology

The Ming Tombs

It was originally built as Changling, for the Emperor Zhuli and his empresses. Then, the succeeding 12

emperors all had their tombs built around it

The Ming Tombs are the collective word used to describe the mausoleums of 13 emperors

that lived during the Ming dynasty, 1368 - 1644 (a

mausoleum is a large stately tomb).

Zijin Cheng/Gu Gong/The Forbidden City

The Forbidden City was built at around the same time as the

Temple of Heaven. It covers 74 hectares, and it was the imperial

palace at the time of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

As the name might suggests, normal civilians were not allowed to enter. The main colour in the buildings was yellow, because

that was the royal colour
