About Pekín

Pekín, capital de China durante siglos, reúne palacios imperiales, templos sagrados y tramos de la Gran Muralla cerca de sus bulevares modernos.

En el corazón de la ciudad, la Ciudad Prohibida se extiende tras muros bermellón, un laberinto de salas y patios que albergó a los emperadores de las dinastías Ming y Qing. La plaza de Tiananmén queda al sur, y la colina del parque Jingshan, al norte, ofrece la mejor vista de sus tejados dorados. El Templo del Cielo, en un parque donde los vecinos practican tai chi y bailan, es una obra maestra del diseño imperial.
