Posted On Monday, March 4, 2002 at at 8:27 PM by AlvinWe spent a week in Beijing (北京) and visited the impressive sites of this ancient city that was the capital for numerous past dynasties. Undoubtedly, the number one attraction in Beijing was the immense Tiananmen Square (天安門廣場) that was one gigantic open space which easily took us 20+ minutes to walk from one end to the other. We also ventured to the (天壇) which was a characteristic monument built in the Ming Dynasty for the Emperor to perform his worshipping rituals to the Universe.
