About Pechino

Pechino, capitale da secoli, riunisce palazzi imperiali, templi sacri e tratti della Grande Muraglia a poca distanza dai viali moderni.

Nel cuore della città, la Città Proibita si estende dietro mura vermiglie, un labirinto di sale e cortili che ospitava gli imperatori delle dinastie Ming e Qing. Piazza Tiananmen si trova a sud, e la collina del Parco Jingshan, a nord, offre la vista più bella sui suoi tetti dorati. Il Tempio del Cielo, in un parco dove gli abitanti praticano tai chi e ballano, è un capolavoro dell'architettura imperiale.

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