Beijing Heritage Sites

Beijing’s heritage sites represent centuries of imperial power and cultural evolution. This collection spans the Ming and Qing dynasties, featuring the sprawling Forbidden City and the ceremonial axis of Tian'anmen Square. Architectural highlights include the Liao dynasty Tianning Temple pagoda, the Tibetan Buddhist Yonghe Lamasery, and the massive bronze bells of Dazhong Temple. These landmarks illustrate China’s transition from an imperial seat to a modern republic, encompassing solemn mausoleums, traditional watchtowers, and the second-largest Confucian temple in the country.
