The Temple of Heaven and Ming Tombs

5.The Temple of Heaven

It worked as sacrificial compound buildings for the Ming and Qing emperors. It boasts of the largest sacrificial place in Beijing among a few imperial altars to Heaven, Earth, the Sun, the Moon super natures.

The Temple of Heaven was entered into the world cultural heritage list in 1998. This towering triple-eave hall is under a three-story, cone-shaped glaze-tile roof in blue color crowned with a gilded knob. A circular wall of polished bricks known as the Echo Wall encloses the Imperial Vault of Heaven. The Circular Mount Altar, south to the Imperial Vault of Heaven, is where the emperor prayed to heaven. At the center lies a round stone called the Center of Heaven Stone that echoes when a visitor speaks loudly when standing on the stone.

6.Ming Tombs

It was the final dynasty in China administered by ethnic Hans. At present there are only two tombs which have been dug and open to the public: Dingling Tomb and Changling Tomb.

t was originally built only as Changling, the tomb of Emperor Zhu Di and his empresses. This is the most magnificent of the tombs. The succeeding twelve emperors had their tombs built around Changling. There are 32 huge posts, and the largest measures about 14 meters in height. It inhumes Emperor Zhudi, the fourth son of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. The kind-heart Travel China Guide recommends the Lingsi Palace in its second yard as really deserving a visit. Wheel-chair users or people with some difficulty of action, I advise them to visit the Changling Tomb instead.

My One-day Beijing Tour

Mutianyu-Great Wall-Dingling of Ming Tombs One Day Tour In Beijing

I spend one important day in Beijing last week. The weather in Beijing now is cold. But  when i climb on to the Great Wall, the spirit is high. I didn't feel cold at all. The Mutianyu Great Wall is splendid. The specific route is Mutianyu Great Wall, then Diling of Ming Tombs.
  
  
Walking along the giant slate of the Great Wall is exciting. We have to admit that Chinese people is full of wisdom.
The second spot is Ming Tomb. Just figure it out from the name, it means a tomb for emperors in Ming dynasty. It is also another splendid architecture in China. I can have a better picture of the Chinese history.
 
 
This one-day Beijing travel is really significant for me. I have more knowledge of the old ancient country now. And i am becoming more and more curious about this country. I prepare to have more tours in other cities of China, such as Shanghai, Shanxi and Guilin.

Beijing National Stadium

The Beijing National Stadium which is built for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing is really one of the great architecture in the world. In generally, Chinese people call it "Birds' nest" for its shape. Figuring from the appearance, it is really like a nest.
After 2008, people who come to China must go to this special scenic spot to recognize the memory of the 2008 Olympic games. Travel to Beijing will be popular. I have been to Beijing and Shanghai for many times. The great wall, Ming tombs. Summer palace and the birds nest are really good places to travel.




The huge stadium can contain billions of people, which is splendid.
