Popularly called the Qianmen, this wall was constructed during the Ming Dynasty in The gate featured a large barbican all with an archery tower, the side walls and the side gates. Direct entry to imperial city was guarded by this gate. Qianmen Station, the first railway station in the city was constructed just outside the gate. During the Boxer Rebellion of 1900, extensive damage was done to this gate. In 1914, the gate was completely reconstructed and restored to its original glory. In 1915, the Barbican side gates were completely damaged and torn down. The People s Liberation Army Beijing garrison occupied the Zhengyangmen gatehouse in 1949 after the victory of Communists. The gate became a major tourist attraction after the military vacated in This gate stands tall at 42 meters and is the highest gate in the city wall. On your trip to Beijing, make sure that a visit to Zhengyangmen gate house is in the itinerary. This is a must visit destination that offers visitors a deep insight into an interesting portion of Chinese history.

The museum's mission is to educate about the arts and history of China. It is directed by the Ministry of Culture of the People's Republic of China.

The museum, covering Chinese history from the Yuanmou Man of 1.7 million years ago to the end of the Qing Dynasty (the last imperial dynasty), has a permanent collection of 1,050,000 items, with many precious and rare artifacts not to be found in museums anywhere else in China or the Copyright by GPSmyCity.com - Page 4 -

C) Tiananmen Square (must see) The name Tiananmen Square is immediately associated with Beijing. This popular square is at the centre of the city. Tourists flock from around the world to this square that features the Tiananmen tower, Mao Zedong Memorial Hall, the Monument to the People s Heroes and the Great Hall of the People. Functionally this square was Forbidden City s front door. Constructed during the Ming Dynasty in 1417, the square was used to inform people when there was change of ruling power. The tower located to the north of the square was accessible only to the aristocrats and royal family and was not open to public until 1911 when feudal rule came to an end. Monument of People s Heroes, constructed in 1952 is the largest in China. This granite monument is located at the centre of the square. Great Hall of the People is located to the west of the square. Constructed in 1959, this hall is an impressive site where prominent diplomatic activities and political meetings are held. To the south of the square, you can find the Memorial Hall of Chairman Mao.

If you wish to enjoy the quintessence of China, you must not miss the Beijing Opera on your trip to Beijing. Also known as the Oriental Opera, this is the biggest form of Chinese opera in existence for the past 160 years. Beijing Opera has witnessed an abundance of repertoires, opera troupes, artists and spectators through ages. Developed from the Huiban, a local drama art of the 18th century China, Beijing Opera has grown into a scenic art that integrates literature, performance, music, face-painting and aria. Ever since it came into existence, Beijing Opera has had different names such as Pingju, Daxi, Jinghuang and Jingxi. Four artistic methods namely dancing, dialogue, singing and martial art are used by the artists in Beijing Opera to present dramatic figures and plays. Male characters, known as Xiao Sheng and Lao Sheng, are the two groups of male characters in the opera. Xiao Sheng refers to beardless young men and Lao Sheng to bearded middle-aged wise men. Dan or female characters, on the other hand, are subdivided into Laodan - a senior woman, Huadan - little girls at the bottom rung of society, Zhengdan - a middle aged, strong woman, and Wudan - a female fighter. Simple settings and stage properties based on real life experiences are used in Beijing Opera performances. On your visit to Chinese capital, do not miss out the unique and interesting opera experience. Address: Haihu West Lane 30, Fengtai District, Beijing, China.
