Beijing the great wall 1.jpg (3944 bytes)

 

BeiJing is the capital of China. There are historical sites and magnificent ancient structures all over the city. The most famous are THE FORBIDDEN CITY [  the royal palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties(1368--1911)]  and THE GREAT WALL.  There are still some famous parks like Prince Gong's Mansion,Yuan Ming Yuan, Summer Palace , Temple of Heaven, BeiHai, Ming Thirteen Tombs... .  It will take you at lest half of a month for visiting the famous historical sites if you are interested in architect.

Among all the historical sites, I like   Prince Gong's Mansion best.  The luxurious buildings , garden with winding corridors, pavilions, rockeries and water.... , everything is perfect both on vision and practicality. The most wonderful part is the theater which  in the past was used for giving home celebrations. There we can enjoy tea and local snack while watching Beijing Opera , acrobatics ,vocal mimicry,comic dialogue ... . The theater  is also design perfectly , the performers need not use microphone but everyone in the theater can hear   very clearly. There we can see  the wisdom of the ancient Chinese people.

Recently, many people visit Beijing " Hutong" by the pedicabs ("Hutong" is the lanes and alleys in BeiJing) . We can know more about the everyday life of  people in Beijing by this kind of trip.
