This course visits two World Heritage sites that are a must-see when visiting Beijing.We hope you will enjoy the Mutianyu Great Wall, a section that is rarely covered on tours.Mutianyu Great WallApproximately 73 km northeast from central Beijing.TripAdvisor's #1 Beijing tourist destination (2018).Its history dates back to the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577), when it was built to suppress horse-riding tribes.Later, during the Ming Dynasty, a new Great Wall was constructed on the site of the former Northern Qi Dynasty Great Wall, and a checkpoint was established there, so it was named Mutianyu Pass.At that time, it played a role in protecting the city of Beijing and the Ming Tombs.Take the ropeway to the top and then walk freely along the Great Wall, which stretches endlessly into the distance.Its rugged terrain offers a different landscape from the majestic Badaling Great Wall, which is a more common tourist destination along the Great Wall.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/100e0x000000l33buEEAA_Z_1000_0.jpg"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/100p13000000tdsbjF2F6_Z_1000_0.jpg"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/350q190000015u72g623D_Z_1000_0.jpg">National Palace MuseumThe Palace Museum, which was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1987, was formerly known as the Forbidden City. Since the Ming Dynasty moved its capital from Nanjing to Beijing in 1421, a total of 24 successive emperors lived within this palace until the fall of the Qing Dynasty.It is also known as the setting for the film "The Last Emperor," which depicts the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and Jiro Asada's "Sora no Subaru," which was also made into a TV drama.A Japanese guide will explain the highlights.First, climb the Wumen Gate and experience what it's like to be the Last Emperor.<img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/100u11000000r1oqh8E76_Z_1000_0.jpg"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/100u0x000000le38uA71D_Z_1000_0.jpg"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/100c10000000plzao4FEC_Z_1000_0.jpg">KeizanA small hill located opposite the North Gate and Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City.Beijing is a symmetrical city, and Jingshan is located at its centerline.Looking down to the south from the top of the mountain, the yellow lapis lazuli tile roofs of the Forbidden Palace towers line up like waves.Wanchun Pavilion, located on the top of a mountain at an altitude of about 45 meters, offers a magnificent view of Beijing.During the Yuan Dynasty, it was a small hill called "Green Mountain", but in the 14th year of the Yongle era of the Ming Dynasty (1416), when the Forbidden City was being built, the soil left over from the demolition of the old city and the excavation of the Forbidden City's guardian river during the Yuan Dynasty was piled on top of it, and it was named Banzai Mountain. It was renamed Jingshan in the 12th year of the Shunzhi era of the Qing Dynasty (1655).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"><img src="https://ak-d.tripcdn.com/images/100913000000vop3m0346_Z_1000_0.jpg">
