During the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), when the Great Wall became the world’s largest military structure.The Great Wall is one of the largest building construction projects ever completed. It stretches across the mountains of northern China, winding north and northwest of Beijing.

Forbidden City
Built during 1368-1644, it was forbidden to enter without special permission of the emperor, hence it’s name “Forbidden city”.  Listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1987, the Palace Museum is now one of the most popular tourist attractions worldwide.

Terracotta warriors
Chinese workers digging a well in 1974 made a startling discovery: thousands of life-size terracotta figures of an army prepared for battle. Now called the Terracotta Army or Terracotta Warriors, the figures are located in three pits near the city of X’ian in China’s Shaanxi province.

Li River
It has the crystal clear water but also uniquely shaped Karst hills, rice paddies, and bamboo groves lining the river.
