Forbidden
City This is one of the
main structures inside the Forbidden City. Forbidden City was the home to
the emperors for hundreds of years. This major tourist attraction site is clean and
well-maintained.
Cultural
Museum at Tienanmen Square
This museum was built to educate the Chinese people and foreigners about the
modern history of China (starting from the late Qing dynasty to present).
It features pictorial galleries and old documents. Outside the museum
displays a clock counting down
in days and seconds before Macao officially becomes Chinese territory
again.
People's
Hero Memorial at Tienanmen Square
This was built to honor and commemorate those who suffered or died during the
revolution.
Great
Wall The great wall of China,
one of the only two man-made objects viewable from outer space. It is
'great' all right. This section of the wall shown in the picture is only a
tiny segment of the entire length.
