What places of interest are there in Beijing?

1, Palace Museum

As a world cultural heritage, the Palace Museum is located in the center of the ancient city of Beijing. It is the main entrance of the Forbidden City through Tiananmen Gate at noon.

As the imperial palace in Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Forbidden City is also the most magnificent and huge wooden structure complex in the world. From the completion of 1420 to the departure of the last emperor Puyi in 1925, it witnessed too many ups and downs and love and hate in China, and it is definitely the most important scenic spot in Beijing!

2. Tiantan Park

The Temple of Heaven is the place where emperors of Ming and Qing Dynasties offered sacrifices to the emperor and prayed for a bumper harvest of grain. It was also built in 1420, including the grain prayer altar on the north side and the dome altar on the south side, which are connected by a long single bridge.

The Hall of Prayer for the New Year is a landmark building in Beijing and a part of it. It is the only hall-style building in ancient China, unique in the world and very precious.

3. Summer Palace

The Summer Palace is the largest imperial garden in China. It was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and was called Qingyi Garden at that time. Unfortunately, it was burned by the British and French allied forces at 1860. It was rebuilt in the Guangxu period of the late Qing Dynasty to let Empress Dowager Cixi retire and rest, and later renamed the Summer Palace.

4. Badaling Great Wall

Badaling is located at the north entrance of Guangou Ancient Road, Jundushan, in the northwest suburb of Beijing. Built in 1505. The mountains overlap and the situation is dangerous. It is an important barrier to the capital Beijing and has always been a battleground for military strategists.

5. Beihai Park

Beihai Park is the earliest royal garden in Beijing, which was built in Liao Dynasty. The whole garden is centered on Beihai, surrounded by Qionghua Island, Baita Temple, Tuancheng, Wulong Pavilion, Xiaoxitian, Jiulongbi and Jingxinzhai.
