the great wall    The Great Wall is known as the longest defensive city wall in the world.It is not only the magnum opus of human being but also the soul of  China! And the Badaling Great Wall is the eximious representation of The Great Wall.On the peak of the Badaling, The Great Wall is towering. It goes     up to the South peak and north peak from the Guan city, convolves on the ridge of Jundu mountain.You can not see its beginningand end,It disappears beyond.
    So many people climbed it, surved the Great Wall,felt inspirited,song the praises of it
and gasped in admiration……

    The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world that created by human being! If you come to China without climbing The Great Wall,just as well as you come to Paris without visiting The Iron Tower, come to Egypt without visiting The pyramids! Man  often say:" The man who have not climbed The Great Wall is not    the true man."

 

the temple of heaven The Temple of Heaven is considered the largest heaven-worshipping architecture in the world . The Temple was built in 1420 A.D. during the Ming Dynasty to offer sacrifice to Heaven. As Chinese emperors called themselves 'The Son of Heaven' ,they dared not to build their own dwelling,'Forbidden City' bigger than a dwelling for Heaven.
The Temple of Heaven is enclosed with a long wall. The northern part within the wall is semicircular symbolizing the heavens and the southern part is square symbolizing the earth. The northern part is higher than the southern part. This design shows that the heaven is high and the earth is low and the design reflected an ancient Chinese thought of 'The heaven is round and the earth is square'.

 

The Forbidden City ------ the largest palatial complex in the world , in Chinese, was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now known as the Palace Museum(Gu Gong).It is to the north of Tiananmen Square. Rectangular in shape, it is the world's largest palace complex and covers 74 hectares. Opposite the Tiananmen Gate, to the north is the Gate of Devine Might (Shenwumen), which faces Jingshan Park. The distance between these two gates is 960 meters, while the distance between the gates in the east and west walls is 750 meters. There are unique and delicately structured towers on each of the four corners of the curtain wall. These afford views over both the palace and the city outside.
