About Peking

Peking, seit Jahrhunderten Hauptstadt, bietet Kaiserpaläste, heilige Tempel und Abschnitte der Großen Mauer nahe den modernen Boulevards.

Im Herzen der Stadt breitet sich die Verbotene Stadt hinter zinnoberroten Mauern aus, ein Labyrinth aus Hallen und Höfen, in dem die Kaiser der Ming- und Qing-Dynastie lebten. Der Platz des Himmlischen Friedens liegt südlich davon, und der Hügel des Jingshan-Parks im Norden bietet den schönsten Blick über ihre goldenen Dächer. Der Himmelstempel in einem Park, in dem Einheimische Tai-Chi üben und tanzen, ist ein Meisterwerk kaiserlicher Baukunst.
