BEIJING-CHINA-The Lama Temple- Great Wall of China-

The Lama Temple
It is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Beijing. Its name means The Temple of Harmony.
The palace was built in 1694 by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty as a residence for his son, Prince Yin Zhen. When he succeeded him to the throne in 1723, the new emperor moved to the Forbidden City, took the name Yong Zheng and renamed his former residence the Palace of Harmony. He also replaced the green ceramic tiles with yellow, the imperial color. In 1744, his successor Emperor Qianlong converted the palace into the lamasery and offered it to Tibetan monks. In 1949, the Lama Temple was declared a national monument due to its historical importance.
The Great Wall of China
It is a series of fortifications that were built across the historical northern borders of ancient Chinese states and Imperial China as protection against various nomadic groups from the Eurasian Steppe. Several walls were built from as early as the 7th century BC, with selective stretches later joined by Qin Shi Huang (220–206 BC), the first emperor of China. Little of the Qin wall remains. Later on, many successive dynasties built and maintained multiple stretches of border walls. The best-known sections of the wall were built by the Ming dynasty (1368–1644).
Tiananmen Square
It is a city square in the city center of Beijing, China, named after the eponymous Tiananmen ("Gate of Heavenly Peace") located to its north, which separates it from the Forbidden City. The square contains the Monument to the People's Heroes, the Great Hall of the People, the National Museum of China, and the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China in the square on October 1, 1949; the anniversary of this event is still observed there. The size of Tiananmen Square is 765 x 282 meters (215,730 m2 or 53.31 acres).[3] It has great cultural significance as it was the site of several important events in Chinese history.
