In ancient China, the emperor was regarded as the "Son of Heaven", who administered matters on the earth on behalf of the heavenly authority. To show respect to the heaven, ceremonies for sacrifices to heaven were extremely important to the emperor. The Temple of Heaven was built for the worship of heaven and prayers for good harvests in 1420 and then became a sacred place in the minds of the ancient Chinese people. They believed that it was the place to convey wishes to heaven. The Temple of Heaven was listed as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1998.

Equally famous as the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace is called "Yi He Yuan" (Garden of Nurtured Harmony) in Chinese. The vast imperial playground of the Summer Palace was where the loyal court would escape during the oppressive summer months. It is up to now the best preserved and the largest royal gardens in China.  Located near Beijing University, it is a great place to seek a break from the summer heat!  Enjoy wandering ancient pathways and avenues that were once reserved for the sole use of emperors and their coteries. You may regret it if you come to Beijing and miss visiting these gardens.

The Ming Tombs, located in a picturesque valley of rolling hills and orchards north of urban Beijing, were built by the Ming emperors in an attempt to smooth their passage in to the afterlife. Thirteen emperors, 23 empresses, and many imperial concubines, prices and princesses were buried in the tombs in simple but stately chambers. An impressive marble archway and a seven-kilometer road, known as the Sacred Way, show the way to the burial complex. Sculpted "guards," a set of 12 stone animals, line the road. The first tombs were excavated in 1958. In 2003, the site was recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Site.
