Traveling to China is an opportunity to build a long journey through the Great Wall of China, to collect stories and legends floating in dragons in the transparent air flow of the hot air of the Celestial Empire. A thin line on the map of the country comes up to the heart of China. Badaling, the most famous section of the Wall, passes 70 km from Beijing and was called the "Gateway to the Capital".
China, Beijing: attractions
Great joy for any traveler - the desire to visit interesting places in Beijing will not require regular trips by taxi, and travel from one attraction to another can take less than 5 minutes. Beijing literally consists of historically and architecturally significant objects, so you can arrange excursions on foot or by metro.
Metro Tian tan, 5 line: to heaven will lead a magical way (Temple of Heaven)
The fifth line of the underground will lead the traveler directly to the entrance to the park, where the Temple of the sky stands from 1420. Dark blue roof tiles entice the travelers into the temple, opening the visitors with artfully painted vaults.
Metro Yonghegong, 2nd line: a place where peace always reigns (Lama's Temple)
The second line paves the way for the Lama Temple. It was in this residence of Prince Yong of the Qing Dynasty that the Tibetan Lama lived and studied in his time. The second name of the temple is the temple of Yonghegong, which means "Place of harmony and peace".
Metro Jianguomen, 1 and 2 lines: ascend the Altar and bring sacrifices, honoring the Gods (Altar of the Sun)
Ritan is a small park where Chinese people like to spend time in dance classes, Qigong and Wushu. In the heart of the park is enclosed by a round wall with four gates Altar of the Sun.
In general, there are several altars in Beijing, they are also dedicated to the Moon, Earth and Sky.
No matter how beautiful the Temples, Beijing's museums are equally entertaining. There is a military museum in Beijing, a museum of natural science, a museum of women and children, an art museum.
Strangely enough (and again, symbolically), the heart of the capital of China is also a museum, and one of the most famous in the world is the Gugun museum. In Beijing, and in all of China, there is no museum larger and more grand than the former palace of the emperors.
Walking path
Harmony is the direct path to wisdom (Confucius Temple).
The road from the "Places of Peace" to the Confucius Temple takes only a few minutes, and this is a certain secret significance. However, everything in the world has its secret meaning. As with the fact that the furnace for the ceremonial sacrifices in honor of Confucius was preserved in the courtyard of the Temple.
Heart of Beijing
Gugun is the guardian of centuries-old secrets, living in five centuries at the same time. The history of the construction of this palace-museum is amazing. It took ten years to cook bricks from the best clay, burn them and cover with a poisonous but golden glimmering paint. The next four years went to construction - there are more than a thousand buildings with a total area of 72 square kilometers. Statues
Even during the cold weather, the flow of tourists to Beijing does not stop. In winter, the sights of the city do not lose their special attraction, except that the parks do not adorn the green foliage.
Beijing is an amazing city, the concentration of epochs in which causes associations with time travel. The sights of Beijing are the real time machine that the Chinese nation has created and preserved for many centuries.
