Travel Beijing, China - Tour the Forbidden City in Beijing
Take a tour of Forbidden City, Beijing - part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
Hi, I am Naomi, and I am very excited to show you the World's Greatest Attractions.
Beijing's Forbidden City is a grand testament to five centuries of political history in China.
A gate connects the ancient palace to Tiananmen Square, China's modern political center.
In centuries past, the splendidly wrought Forbidden City served as the home of the royal court.
It took over one million workers fifteen years to finish the highly ornate construction.
Symbolic statues symbolize imperial power and demonstrate ancient religious design principles.
The citizens required permission to enter or exit, hence the name, Forbidden City.
Today the city serves as a museum of Chinese culture and history.
This relic of political, artistic, religious and architectural history is a must-see for any world traveler.
Thank you for watching our travel video series. See you next time!

China is a country rich in culture and has a splendid history dating back over 5,000 years to the age of magnificent dynasties. Yu, known as Jade, has been an intricate part of China's civilization and ancestry. Jade was held sacred by ancestors and treated as a luxury known only to royalty. It symbolized healing, purity, strength and wisdom and held great influence in politics, culture, trade, art and religion in ancient China. No other precious metal or gemstone held a higher value or could replace jade's natural beauty.

China: Secrets of a Long Life | 101 East
Several million tourists flock to China's Bama region every year, but it's not the spectacular scenery they come to see, it's the large number of residents aged over 100.
A thriving tourism business showcasing the elderly has sprung up as local residents realise that longevity can be profitable.
Hoping to learn the secret to a long life, visitors come to stare, prod and poke at centennials like Huang Makun, whose family says she is 100 years old.
With her wiry frame swathed in layers of clothing to keep warm, Huang Makun sits on display beside the tourist trinkets for sale.
Hundreds of visitors come every day to inspect her, examining the old woman like a museum exhibit. They often give her money.
Now that we have so many tourists she is used to it, one of her relatives says. She eats when hungry and lets us know when she's tired. When it is less busy, she lies down. But she won't disappoint those coming from far away.
But are these centennials really as old as they claim?
Longevity experts cast doubt on claims that Bama could be home to so many residents over the age of 100, arguing that it is statistically improbable to have such a large number of centennials based in the same area.
101 East travels to China's Bama region to find out whether the residents are as old as they claim and to discover if they have found the secret to longevity.

CHINA 中国 BEST SHOPPING IN BEIJING // VLOG#91
We're still loving Beijing and this week we even get to see some beautiful blue skies! This week we try to find the best shopping Beijing has to offer..keeping in mind we don't have much space in our 40L backpacks...which also helps to keep us on budget. Our first stop is the famous Silk Road where you can get a copy/knick-off of just about any clothing or fashion related item your heart desires. Kate is not a big shopper but even she had fun here. Bring your haggling skills and some money for coffee. Next on our agenda is to add some more culture to our lives so we make our way to the Capital Museum of China. Admission is free but you have to register in advance (in Mandarin) so we just asked the nice folks at our hotel to call for us and all was smooth as silk. Make sure to put this Museum on your itinerary when visiting Beijing, it's definitely worth investing an afternoon to check out the exhibits. This place is truly a treasure trove of history. For some more shopping we roll on over to another famous Beijing copy mall, the Pearl Market which we didn't like nearly as much as silk road. To close out, we link up with some expat friends who take us out for a truly local dining experience that was just amazing! While taking our after-meal stroll we happen across some Duck fans who see my shirt and get really..REALLY...excited..perhaps having a blood alcohol content higher than their age had something to do with the excitement. All too soon its time to leave Beijing and the friends we've made here. We can't wait to come back and explore even more of this amazing city and country!

(Rings bell.) What is this? This is a handbell. It is also called hucheng. This is very hard and very loud. What is this bell used for? Many years ago Beijing didn't have so many big hospitals. When someone is ill at home, but no hospital to go, what to do? Wait for the bell.

Put the dough inside and bang! Close it and it cooks immediately. If you replace this (the long handle) with an electrical cable it becomes an electric pancake maker. At that time there was no electricity, but today there is. You still need to use heat to cook the food.

9. SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Wang Jinming, manager of Beijing Old Items Exhibition:
Imagine if for one year we travel abroad they show us some old objects that come from China, but we don't know what they are, then this is a failure to pass on Chinese history and culture to the future generations. Although these objects all look quite old and shabby, they record real history.

Beijing has become an international cultural metropolis but in some ways it still lags behind, I mean you don't have the wealth of institutions, of cultural institutions that you do in other great capital cities so to some extent these private museums end up filling that gap by creating these kind of pockets of weirdness and eccentricity.

CHINA: BEIJING: NATIONAL PEOPLE'S CONGRESS OPENS
Mandarin/Nat
As the National People's Congress opens in Beijing this week, the Chinese government's communist propaganda machine is in full swing.
China's most famous model worker, Lei Feng, is being commemorated in an exhibition at Beijing's Museum of the Chinese Revolution.
Making money may be the name of the game as China forges ahead with its economic reforms, but authorities do not want people to forget about service and helping others.
Children raised their young pioneer scarves and chanted patriotic propaganda as they prepared to enter the opening of the Lei Feng exhibition.
The school-age children gathered in front of Lei Feng pictures and memorabilia to commemorate China's leading model of altruism.
Young pioneers - a communist version of the boy scouts - are carefully studying the life and achievements of Lei Feng in an effort to help China build its spiritual civilisation.
Lei Feng's claim to fame dates from the 1960's when Mao Zedong personally conducted a campaign urging Chinese citizens to learn from the model soldier.
A truck driver with the People Liberation's Army, Lei Feng took great pleasure in helping others and doing good deeds.
Polite, amiable and always ready to lend a helping hand, Lei Feng was held up as a model of the new socialist man after his tragic death at the age of 22.
But children are now growing up in a era of market reforms where competition and individualism pave the road to success.
Increasingly worried about childrens' spiritual development, Chinese authorities have decided to put heroes such as Lei Feng back into the limelight.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
Even after one- hundred years or one- thousand years, people should still learn from Lei Feng. As long as the earth exists, people can not survive without love and mutual help. Whatever the development of the society, people can not live independently, alone.
SUPER CAPTION: QIAO Anshan, 58, Lei Feng comrade-in-arms
Many believe that promoting the study of the Lei Feng spirit can help Chinese people avoid some of the traps of a material civilisation.
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
If we do not propose to learn from Lei Feng, some capitalist decadent stuff will come into our society and overflow, sabotage our construction of a spiritual civilization. Comrade Deng Xiaoping asked us to build both a spiritual and a material civilisation. A better socialist country can only be built by mixing the two.
SUPER CAPTION: TAO Mingzhi, Colonel of Shenyang Military Area
Material civilisation represents economic progress and getting rich and it must be counter-balanced by something more spiritual.
Spiritual civilization is Jiang Zemin's concept -- the theory with which the Chinese president hopes to leave his tracks in history.
Jiang's theory of a spiritual civilisation has prompted tighter ideological control in the cultural field.
It has also prompted authorities to once again solemnly celebrate model workers.
Thousands of workers have been picked by the party over the past five decades as models of self-sacrificing communist virtues, becoming the closest thing to saints in this officially atheistic society.
Pictures of the most recent socialist models are once again being displayed on one of Beijing's most commercial streets in an effort to inspire the masses.
But in an era when profit has more public appeal than communist dogma, model workers get less attention than in the 1960s, when the name of the selfless soldier Lei Feng was on every good citizen's lips.
These days, Coca Cola and other capitalist symbols are quickly taking over.

wuhan new hospital #Coronavirus #wuhan #china #hubei #chinavirus #冠状病毒 #Wuhanvirus #Virus
The Chinese government announced on Saturday that the death toll has jumped to 41 as 1,287 confirmed cases of the deadly virus.
Construction began on the night of January 23 for a new specialized hospital for coronavirus patients in central China's Wuhan City. The hospital is designed to have an area of 25,000 square meters with 1,000 beds and will be put into use by February 3, officials said.
The special hospital is being built in the Caidian District in the western suburb of the city.
According to officials, the hospital will follow the building model of the Xiaotangshan Hospital. Beijing built the Xiaotangshan Hospital, a temporary medical center, to treat and control Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), which had spread rapidly on the Chinese mainland in 2003. The hospital was completed in seven days and admitted one-seventh of the SARS patients in the country within two months, creating a miracle in the history of medicine.
China broadened on Friday its unprecedented, open-ended lockdowns to encompass more than 20.5 million people as the government tries to contain a deadly new virus that has killed at least 26 people and infected about 830 others.
At the same time, Beijing confirmed two coronavirus deaths outside of Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak.
At least six cities were also added to the list of places under lockdown, all in central China's Hubei province, where the illness originated. That brings to at least 10 the number of cities covered in the lockdown order.
In Wuhan, where the lockdown began early on Thursday, normally bustling streets, malls and other public spaces were eerily quiet. Masks were mandatory in public.
The railway station and the airport were closed, and ferry, subway and bus services were halted; police checked all incoming vehicles but did not close off the roads.
The other cities under lockdown as of Friday morning are near Wuhan, but authorities were taking precautions around the country.
In the capital, Beijing, major public events were cancelled indefinitely, including traditional temple fairs that are a staple of Lunar New Year celebrations.
The Forbidden City, the palace complex in Beijing that is now a museum, announced it will close indefinitely on Saturday.
Al Jazeera's Scott Heidler, reporting from Beijing, said the other big concern is when the travellers, who have already gone back to the provinces, will return to the cities after the holidays.
Most of the deaths and confirmed cases were concentrated in Hubei. But authorities on Friday also confirmed the first case outside the province.
The health commission in Hebei, a northern province bordering Beijing, said an 80-year-old man died after returning from a two-month stay in Wuhan to see relatives.
2016 China Trip Day 13 in Forbidden City of Beijing, China
Tiananmen Square is a large city square in the centre of Beijing, China, named after the Tiananmen (Gate of Heavenly Peace) located to its north, separating 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. Tiananmen Square is within the top ten largest city squares in the world. It has great cultural significance as it was the site of several important events in Chinese history.
The Tiananmen (Chinese: 天安门; literally: Gate of Heavenly Peace) is a famous monument in Beijing, the capital of the People's Republic of China. It is widely used as a national symbol. First built during the Ming dynasty in 1420, Tiananmen is often referred to as the front entrance to the Forbidden City. However, the Meridian Gate (午门) is the first entrance to the Forbidden City proper, while Tiananmen was the entrance to the Imperial City, within which the Forbidden City was located. Tiananmen is located to the north of Tiananmen Square, separated from the plaza by Chang'an Avenue.
The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming dynasty to the end of the Qing dynasty—the years 1420 to 1912. It is located in the centre of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. It served as the home of emperors and their households as well as the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government for almost 500 years.
