Posted by eTravel Admin On December - 15 - 2007

Asia is known as the largest continent in the world. There are many places in Asia which have their own importance, but one among them which gathers most of the tourists is China.
China is located in eastern Asia; there are two phases of china: modern china and historical china. Modern china comprises beautiful skyscrapers, world class business ventures, fast food chains and shopping malls.

Historical china has vast temples, the old century’s architectural monuments, high traditions and highly regarded values.

The two most important visiting places are

• Forbidden city

• The Great wall of china

The Forbidden City was not seen by visitors since 500 years, that’s why it’s called with that name. It has biggest and best preserved ancient buildings. It was occupied by two emperor dynasties, Ming and the Qing.

The Great Wall of China is the longest wall ever made. It is one of the oldest constructions ever made (2000 years old). It spreads over 180 cubic meters on earth. It was created by Emperor Qin in order to defend the nomad’s intervention. It’s the one structure which is visible from space, a great asset and its home is China.
