Beijing

Beijing is where the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, Imperial Garden Summer Palace, Forbidden City and Temple of Heaven located and from here we can know that Beijing is more to cultural city. I’m totally impressed by the Great Wall of China, one of the Seven Wonders of the World and the only man-made structure visible from the moon. I’m also mesmerized by China’s largest and well preserved Imperial Garden Summer Palace which has been built for being the mother of the last emperor, Xi Qi. It is a pretty garden adorned with numerous imperial buildings on the shore of a lake. Next, Forbidden City is a well-preserved ancient palace with superb exhibits of Imperial Treasures. This is the imperial palace of the former emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasty. Whereas Temple of Heaven, is one of the most strictly protected and preserved cultural heritage of China. The Temple served as an exclusive altar for the Chinese monarchs during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Beijing is also famous with pearl and jade and I able to grab a jade bracelet for myself.
