Today we will take you to Beijing, the city of history, the city of modernization, the city of the 2008 Summer Olympics.
The Forbidden City in winter
Kang Xi, the greatest emperor in Qing Dynasty
Beijing is as old as time. It was the capital of Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty, the last two feudal dynasties in China’s 5000-year history. Today the emperor’s palace, the Forbidden City, is still located in the center of Beijing and it is now open to public as the National Palace Museum. Just pay 70 yuan($10) and you can experience the forbidden city, that for many years nobody but royal members could go inside.
The National Grand Theatre
Central Business District
Beijing is the city of modernization. Skyscrapers mixed with traditional building, the latest Cadillac is driven along bicycles. You can go shopping in GUCCI flagship shop, eat French cuisine and go to national theater to see a Beijing opera. The city follows the international pace perfectly while keeping its own graceful style.
This summer, Beijing was also the city of 2008 Summer Olympics. One of our Crazy Travel Girls luckily got a ticket for the opening ceremony! Following are some inside pictures taken by a Crazy Travel Girl.
Thousands of actors are showing movable type printing, one of the Four Great Inventions of Ancient China.
Actors are forming the shape of ship, im memory of advanced maritime trade in Ming Dynasty.
Actors are showing peace dove. Their shining cloths are made by high technology.
People are practicing Taiji, a type of Kong Fu and Qi Gong that values the harmony of the body and spirit.
The National Aquatics Center is known as the Water Cube. The wall of the building is filled with water and can change colors.See you soon. You know you love me
