What are the major attractions in Beijing?
Beijing is known mostly for its ancient civilization, but its modernity is also very remarkable. Therefore, a trip to Beijing should include such sites as imperial palaces and other buildings, ancient structures, museums, and natural scenic spots. However, such a trip would be incomplete without taking a look at the modern architecture that has sprung up in recent years or visiting the homes of ordinary Beijingers. Statistics and my personal experiences show that the most attractive sites in Beijing are as follows: 1) The Great Wall; 2) The Forbidden City; 3) Tiananmen Square; 4) The Ming Tombs; 5) The Temple of Heaven i 6) Liulichang, or the Cultural Street; 7) The Yonghe Lamasery; 8) The Summer Palace; 9) Beihai Park; 10) Jingshan Park; 11) The Asian Games Village; 12) City Tours.
