SIC - Historical Beijing

The Tiananmen "Gate " to the Forbidden City was built in 1415 during the Ming Dynasty. Towards the demise of the Ming Dynasty, heavy fighting between Li Zicheng and the early Qing emperors damaged (or perhaps destroyed) the gate. The Tiananmen square was designed and built in 1651, and has since enlarged four times its original size in the 1950s.The Tiananmen, the third largest city square in the world is named after the Tiananmen Gate (Gate of Heavenly Peace) located to its North which separates it from the Forbidden City. It has great cultural significance as it was the site of several important events in Chinese history. 

Visit to Forbidden City - the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty for almost 500 years. This also served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government.
The Forbidden City is one of the world?s most famous historical sites.  Located to the north of Tiananmen Square, it served as the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.  Covering some 74 hectares, the Forbidden City (or Palace Museum as it is now called) is the world?s largest palace complex.   The color yellow is one of the main features that you will see as you make your entrance into the Forbidden City.  Yellow is the symbol of the royal family and roofs of the 9,999 buildings except one were built using yellow glazed tiles.  Even the bricks on the ground were made yellow using a special process.

The Temple of Heaven, one of the most strictly protected and preserved cultural heritages of China.  The Temple used to serve as an exclusive altar for Chinese monarchs during the Ming and Qing dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven for good harvest.The Temple of Heaven, literally the Altar of Heaven  express in simplified Chinese is a complex of religious buildings situated in the southeastern part of central Beijing.  It has been regarded as a Daoist temple, although Chinese heaven worship, especially by the reigning monarch of the day, predates Daoism.

The Summer Palace in Beijing China as you see it to-day is mainly dominated by Longevity Hill and the Kunming Lake. It covers an expanse of 2.9 square kilometers, three quarters of which is water. The history of the Summer Palace dates back during the Jin Dynasty 1122.  What is more popularly shared by our guide is that in 1888, it was given the current name, Yihe Yuan as it served as a summer resort for the Empress Dowager Cixi.
