My Top Ten Places to Travel Pt. 7; Beijing China
Beijing, China is unlike any other place you will ever step foot in; at its surface, it's busy, bustling, and modern. But in the midst of all that, just below the surface, you can almost feel the ancient secrets of a civilization that has lasted, and flourished for thousands of years! It has a kind of ancient magic in the air!
In North America, if you want to take a peek into the past, you would most likely visit places such as Williamsburg, Charleston, or New Orleans. As fun as those places might be, none of them are more than several hundred years old. Beijing on the other hand, is a city that has a history dating back over 3,000 years!
When I was living in Xi'an, China, I was fortunate enough to go to Beijing for my 22nd birthday! It was incredible! So let me take you on a journey, to some of the best places to visit, and sights to see when you're in Beijing (because you ARE going to Beijing at some point in your life right?!!)

The New 7 Wonders of the World; The Great Wall of China

The #1 place you need to visit in Beijing is a no-brainer; the Great Wall! 

Not only is the Great Wall in the movie Mulan (Hehe), but it is also one of the New 7 Wonders of the World! I don't want to bore you with a history lesson, but this fantastic work of human architecture is over 13,000 miles long! 
All historical facts, and cultural significance aside, this was one of the most breathtaking places I have ever had the pleasure of visiting! It is just so surreal, and magical! It is a must!

The second place I would recommend for you to visit, is the Forbidden City. 

The Forbidden City is everything Ancient China. If you want to see traditional Chinese architecture, which in my opinion, is some of the most stunning architecture you will ever see, then this place is a must!
It is the best-preserved imperial palace in China, and the largest ancient palatial structure in the world! It is located right in the center of Beijing.
Here are some pictures I took there!

Drink Some Tea!

You have never experienced the beauty of tea drinking if you haven't done it in China! In China, drinking tea is a part of life (it's served with meals at restaurants instead of water).
When you're in China you must try this part of their culture!

Take a Ride on the Subway!

The subway in Beijing is INSANE! We took it a lot, and we snapped this picture, and this video of the crazyness!
