Attractions

The Great Wall
The Great Wall of China is the greatest construction project in the history of human civilization. The construction of the Great Wall began more than 2,000 years ago from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. After the Qin dynasty unified China, the sections of walls were restored and connected. It was again constructed in the Han and Ming dynasties on a large scale. The immensity of this project and the magnificence of its stance is seen as a miracle of the world. After the grinding of time, now when you climb onto the ancient site of the Great Wall, you can still see the grand Great Wall extending across the mountains and appreciate the wisdom and courage of the Chinese nation.

The Great Wall of China starts from the Shanhai Pass in the east and ends at the Jiayu Pass in the west in northern China. It covers a total length of about 6,700 kilometers.

The Summer Palace
If you want to feel the grandeur of the Imperial Garden while experiencing the fun of nature in scenic lakes and mountains, the Summer Palace is a 5A tourist scenic spot you can never miss in Beijing. Located in the western suburbs of Beijing, the Summer Palace, known as the "Imperial Garden Museum", is a royal garden of the Qing dynasty in China. With an area of about 3 square kilometres, about three-quarters of the garden is covered by water. The Summer Palace is a large landscape garden containing Kunming Lake and Longevity Hill, designed with the techniques of gardens on the Yangtze Delta and reference to the landscape of West Lake in Hangzhou. It is also the most intact Imperial Palace.

Tanzhe Temple
There is an old saying in Beijing: "First there was Tanzhe Temple, then came Beijing." Tanzhe Temple, built 1,700 years ago, is the oldest temple in Beijing. Tanzhe Temple is located at the foot of Tanzhe Mountain in the southeast of Mentougou District west of Beijing. The temple faces south, with its back against Mount Baozhu, and covers a total area of more than 121 hectares. First built in the first year of Yongjia in Western Jin (307 AD), the temple was originally named "Jiafu Temple." Later Emperor Kangxi of the Qing dynasty granted it the name "Youyun Temple." Since a dragon pond (Pinyin: tan) lies behind the temple and cudrania (Pinyin: zhe) trees grow in the mountain, it has the folk name of "Tanzhe Temple." The whole temple was built according to the terrain by a clever layout. The environment is very beautiful with ancient trees towering and pagodas standing in great numbers in the temple.
