Beijing

Beijing, the capital city of China, is the nation ’s political and cultural centre. Beijing covers an area of 16,800 square kilometres with total population of over 12 million,of which about 6 million live in the city and the rest on the outskirts. As an ancient city with great splendour, Beijing is full of magnificent palaces and parks and has more than 50 museums. Among its most popular treasures are:

The Great Wall
The Great Wall, one of the world ’s most popular tourist attractions, is 3,333 miles long and was built section by section between the 5th century BC and 16th century AD. The section we are going to visit is called Badaling, mainly built in Ming Dynasty (1368 –1644), it averages 7.8 metres in height, and is 6.5 metres wide at the base and 5.5 metres wide at the top.

The Forbidden City
Officially known as the Former Imperial Palace or ‘Gugong ’, most foreigners prefer the name it was given to indicate that only the emperor ’s court and ministers – plus the occasional ambassador bearing tribute – were allowed into this small 'city ’ until the 1920s. The vast, exotic grandeur of the Forbidden City was brilliantly captured in ‘The Last Emperor ’ which was filmed there. It is an architectural masterpiece, with a breathtaking symmetry of palatial pavilions, courtyards, gates, treasure halls and gardens.
