And we are both major fans of history. After graduation, we took a year off and decided to travel in our own backyard—beautiful China. We're uncovering the places and monuments from all over our gorgeous homeland.
Great wall of China
One of the great wonders of the world. Being 13,171 miles long, this wall represents a great feat of perseverance and a sign of how important territorial borders were for Chinese emperors over the centuries. Absolutely a must visit if you have the opportunity.
Terracotta Army
This army was created after the death of the first emperor of China, Qin Shin Huang, as a part of the funerary art, with the goal of protecting the emperor in the afterlife. This site is placed on a UNESCO World Heritage list, and it shows the significances with which the first emperor was regarded.
Forbidden City
This imperial palace, which now houses a palace museum, housed Chinese dynasties from 1420 until 1912. Located in Beijing, this is a place where you can see traditional Chinese art and observe it's development over centuries.
