After arriving at the area ruled by these landmarks, it is inevitable to sigh that these new city symbols are magnificent, unique or spectacular.

Just like the Bird's Nest in Beijing, it can be predicted that after the Olympic Games, many tourists will visit the Forbidden City, the Great Wall and other scenic spots, and will not put down such a new 2 1 century modern landmark building in Beijing. Tourism activities in the information age make these new landmark buildings and structures famous abroad and even in the world.

Brief introduction of architecture

The Forbidden City-Beijing, it is difficult to exclude the capital from this ranking, and there are also many good buildings. As the largest classical palace complex in the world, the Forbidden City is famous at home and abroad for its traditional Ming and Qing styles. Even if Beijing is like new york in the future, it will not change the status of the Forbidden City, which can almost be regarded as a representative building in China.

However, it is not the best in China. If Epang Palace and ancient Chang 'an in Xi 'an still exist, the latter will definitely be chosen, which is resplendent and magnificent, not as good as the Forbidden City. The style of Han and Tang dynasties is undoubtedly more convincing and shocking than that of Ming and Qing dynasties.
