Walk around Tian’anmen square,our guide will explain the stories and historis about this Largest city central square.Visit Chairman Mao’s Memorial Hall if you require to go,but usually have a long queue to enter.
Visit the Qianmen shopping area.and nearby street.Qianmen Street has history of more than 570 years. It was called Zhengyangmen Street during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and finally named Qianmen Street in 1965.
With its latticework of horizontal alleys, the north-south Qianmen Street prospered as a commercial strip as early as Yuan Dynasty (1206-1368). By the time of Emperor Jiajing, the 12th Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) emperor, the street was dotted with guild halls built by different localities, to provide housing to citizens intending to take the imperial exams.
Qianmen Street became even more prosperous in the early years of Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) with the development of activities such as lantern fairs, theaters and teahouses. Places like the Guanghe Theater — today threatened with demolition– and the Quanjude roast duck restaurant are part of Beijing’s history.
Walking to the National Theater for photos
Like the so-called Bird’s Nest,’ The Egg.” As this bulbous glass-draped opera house is called,might cause passersby to think yet another spaceship has landed in the capital-this one near Tian’anmen square. Indeed,its close proximity to the Forbidden City and the Monument to the People’s Heroes coupled with its un-feng shui design and soaring costs($324.6 million) have earned it the sort of hostile welcome reserved for an alien invasion.
