Beijing

This is a course that visits three world heritage sites in the city that are must-sees when sightseeing in Beijing.National Palace MuseumThe Palace Museum, which was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1987, was once called the Forbidden City and was home to a total of 24 people since the Ming Dynasty moved its capital from Nanjing to Beijing in 1421 until the fall of the Qing Dynasty. Successive emperors lived in this palace.It is also known as the setting for the movie ``The Last Emperor,'' about the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and Jiro Asada's ``Subaru in the Blue Sky,'' which was made into a TV drama.A Japanese guide will explain the highlights.First, go up to the morning gate and feel like the Last Emperor.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0353l1200081bu59d6842_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="4677207" sourcewidth="7305" sourcehight="3430"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/035011200081bu61k116D_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="4677229" sourcewidth="5000" sourcehight="2419"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/0354h1200081bu9mzC2AA_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="4677234" sourcewidth="4032" sourcehight="3024">KeizanA small mountain opposite the northern gate and Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City.Beijing is a symmetrical city, and Jingshan is located on its center line.Looking down to the south from the mountaintop, you can see the yellow lazuli tile roofs of the Forbidden City's towers cascading in waves.Wanshuntei, located on a mountain at an altitude of approximately 45 meters, offers a spectacular view of Beijing.During the Yuan Dynasty, it was a small hill called "Blue Mountain," but in the 14th year of Yongle (1416) of the Ming Dynasty, during the construction of the Forbidden City, the remaining soil from the removal of the old city and the excavation of the Forbidden City's castle river was placed on top of it. It was deposited in the area and named Mt. Banzaiyama. It was renamed Jingshan in the 12th year of Shunzhi (1655) of the Qing Dynasty.On the eastern foot of the mountain there remains a locust tree where Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself after fleeing the Forbidden City on March 19, 1644 (17th year of the Chongzhen era) when Li Zicheng (leader of a peasant uprising, 1606-45?) led a peasant army into Beijing.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/350w180000013z0uf81D2_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="3273173" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="562"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/100913000000vop3m0346_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="gs" imageid="313114058" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="847">Summer PalaceRegistered as a World Heritage Site (Cultural Heritage) in 1998.It had been used as an "Imperial Garden" since the Ming Dynasty, but then Emperor Qianlong converted it into a villa to celebrate his mother's 60th birthday, and it was renamed Qingli Garden.It was destroyed by British and French troops in the Second Opium War in 1860 (10th year of Xianfung), but in 1884 it was renovated to serve as the Empress Dowager Cixi's retirement home and was renamed the Summer Palace. The cost of renovating the Summer Palace was enormous, and it is said that Empress Dowager Cixi's misappropriation of the navy's budget contributed to the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War, but other theories say that it was a public project in response to the economic downturn. .The vast grounds include an artificial lake called Kunming Lake, a mountain called Wanshou Mountain made of earth dug from the lake, and the garden, which imitates Hangzhou's West Lake and gardens in the Jiangnan region, includes Empress Dowager Cixi's residence Leshou. Various palaces are lined up, including the Hall, Renshou Hall, which was used for government affairs, and Yulan Hall, and the Symbol Pavilion, the symbol of the Summer Palace, towers atop Manshou Mountain. The Long Corridor, built along Kunming Lake, is 728 meters long, and its beams are covered with 14,000 paintings of flowers, birds, scenery, history, and classics.This course will visit the Donggung Gate, Renjuden, Gyokurando, Dekhe Garden, Raksuden, Long Corridor, Sekiho, and Bukju Pavilion (exterior).<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/350w180000014fupp08CF_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="3296577" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="750"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/350w180000014fupoE9FD_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="3296575" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="750"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/350s180000014gp3m8A4E_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="3296576" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="1333">Tiantan Park(Tendan Koen)The site is vast, approximately 2.7 million square meters, and is the largest existing ritual building in China.It was the place where the emperor literally prayed to the heavens for a rich harvest.It was built in the 18th year of Yongle (1420) of the Ming Dynasty, and was initially called the Tianchi Altar, but in the 9th year of the Jiajing era (1530), a system of four subdivisions was established, and the ``Yuedan'', ``Datan'', and ``Didan'' were established. After its construction, it was renamed the Temple of Heaven and underwent renovations in the Qianlong and Guangxu years of the Qing Dynasty.The overall structure is based on the idea of ​​the Tenen region (the sky is round and the earth is square), and the north side is round and the south side is square.The Temple of Heaven is a general term for the Guanqiu Altar and the Prayer Altar.There is a Kankyudan in the south and a prayer altar in the north, both of which are located on the central axis, and are connected by a road called Tamaibashi Bridge.In 1998, it was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/350t1b000001b6uoxDFF8_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="3776777" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="666"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/35061b000001b7fapD459_Z_1000_0.jpg" source="ttd" imageid="3776778" sourcewidth="1000" sourcehight="666">
