Studytrip: My Favourite Visit
If I have to talk about the most interesting visit in China, there is no doubt that it was the week end in Beijing. Beijing is the capital of China, and one of the cities with more inhabitants in the world (21,150,000). We arrived there on Friday night and thanks to Antonio that we had hamburgers waiting for us at the hotel. After that, we went out to know the Beijing night and we were surprised that occidental people usually have free drinks at the night clubs.
On Saturday morning they took us to the Forbidden City, which was the imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty (1420-1912). It is located at the centre of Beijing, and now houses the Palace Museum. It used to serve as the house of emperors and their households, as well as the political centre of Chinese Government. It was built from 1406 to 1420, consist of 980 buildings and covers 720,000 m2. After this we went to eat the famous Beijing duck, a traditional plate from Beijing, which in my opinion was so good if I compare it with the rest of the Chinese food. Then we went to the Temple of Heaven, a medieval complex of religious buildings situated in the southeastern part of Beijing. The complex was visited by the Emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties for annual ceremonies of prayer to Heaven for good harvest.
But the best visit was reserved for Sunday. We went to the Great Wall in the morning, where we spent two hours walking around and enjoying the amazing views form the Wall. It consists of a serie of fortifications made of stone, built from east to west across the northern borders of China to protect the Chinese states and empires against the invasions of the nomadic groups of the Eurasian Steppe, and measures more than 6,000 km. After this, it was time to finish this nice experience and go back to Shanghai.
