Perhaps in no other city of the country there are so many cultural and historical monuments, many of which are World Heritage sites, as in Beijing, which during the last 800 years is the political and administrative center of China, that's why it is recommended to start your acquaintance with the original Celestial Empire from its capital .. The main tourist "points" of the city are the giant five-hundred-year palace complex of Gugun, the huge Tiananmen Square, the temple of Heaven "Tiantan ". A walk through the Great Wall of China is another mandatory item of the program.
