Top Places to Visit in China
GREAT WALL OF CHINA
The Great Wall of China, built starting in the 7th century BC, stands as one of humanity's most remarkable engineering feats. Spanning 15 Chinese provinces, it consists of a series of fortifications. Sections like Mutianyu and Jinshanling are popular among tourists today. Hiking along the Great Wall and seeing the fantastic watchtowers and breathtaking natural landscape, you may feel the incredible courage and wisdom of the ancient Chinese people.
FORBIDDEN CITY
This large complex served as the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties (1420 - 1912), covering an area of about 720,000 square meters. Strolling through the halls and corridors, you'll see the essence of traditional Chinese architecture.
TEMPLE OF HEAVEN
Constructed in 1420, the Temple of Heaven served as the sacred place where the Ming and Qing dynasties' monarchs gave sacrifices to heaven and prayed there for a plentiful harvest. It was designated a "World Cultural Heritage" by UNESCO in 1998.
SUMMER PALACE
The landscape garden, now known as the "Imperial Garden Museum," is the world's best-preserved royal palace. The Kunming Lake and Longevity Hill comprise the garden's principal body, which is complementary and embodies the art of Chinese design.
HUTONGS
Hutongs are alleys formed by rows of conventional courtyard homes. Ride in a rickshaw or stroll across the streets, lined with little shops selling food, alcohol, and hair services, to get a taste of how the locals live their life.
