If you want to know the history of China, the following two attractions should not be missed.
The Great Wall
For most visitors to have a Beijing tour, Great Wall is
their indispensable destination.
The first chapter in the history of the Great Wall of China ended in 207 BC, when the last of the over 6 billion cubic feet of compacted earth was set into place. The Great Wall was only moderately effective in carrying out its purpose, even after it was faced with bricks and stones. Its real value came in the way it eased transportation throughout the land, acting as a kind of elevated thruway, equipment, goods and passengers could more easily traverse the arduous mountainous wilderness that enveloped the Great Wall.
Terracotta Army
Xian will help you know the antient history of China. Wll Terracotta Army will take you a different historical world and make you imagine that you are in
the scene of Qin Dynasty if you have a Xian tours.
Can you imagine digging in your yard one day, and discovering a life-sized terracotta soldier, made completely out of clay over 2000 years ago, buried in your back yard? That's what happened in China in 1974! By the time archaeologists had finished digging, they had uncovered over 6000 life-size terracotta soldiers! Some of the statues they found are kneeling with terracotta bows, ready to shoot. Some have moustaches. Some have armor.
Archaeologists also found terracotta horses, spears, and chariots - all life-size, all made out of clay! And each is unique. No two look alike.
