3. Jingshan Park is superbly landscaped with hills to ascend by steps, clear lakes and dignified ancient buildings.

5. In Beijing, cricket refers to a kind of insect and its Chinese name is Qu Qu(蛐蛐). Keeping cricket has a history of more than 1500 years in China. People like to keep the cricket and watch the cricket fighting. The lifetime of the cricket is only 100 days. It may seem strange that such a little insect could bring great popularity to a place, but the crickets are indeed an extraordinary and indispensable feature. Paper-cutting(剪纸) is a very distinctive visual art of Chinese handicrafts. It originated from the 6th century when women used to paste golden and silver foil cuttings onto their hair at the temples, and men used them in sacred rituals. Today, paper-cuttings are chiefly decorative. They are pasted on the walls, windows, doors, columns and lanterns to express people’s hopes, gratitude and other emotions.

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.

Top-ranked sights in Peking: Mutianyu Great Wall, Forbidden City (Palace Museum), Tiananmen Square (Tiananmen Guangchang).
