architecture of Temple of Heaven has two themes. One is "on the earth," while the other is "in the heaven." The square-shaped palace for fasting in the west of the temple appears like a "forbidden city" in smaller size.
Dozens of temples of heaven were built and only the Temple of Heaven in Beijing is still standing. It is the largest architectural group of buildings and unique in the world today.
Summer Palace
Consists primarily of the Wanshoushan and Kunming Lake, Summer Palace is the largest and best preserved imperial garden of the Qing Dynasty in extant in Beijing, as well as a famous classical imperial garden.
Besides, Summer Palace has a long history. In 1860, the Anglo-French troops invaded Beijing, burnt the "Three Hills and Five Gardens" and plundered the places of their treasures. All wooden structures in Qingyiyuan were burnt to ashes.
Forbidden City
As a magnificent, solemn and palatial complex, Forbidden City is the largest wooden cluster in existence in the world today. The Forbidden City had been repaired and rebuilt many times during some 500 years, but its basic form and layout remains in the original state.
Also, Forbidden City takes pride in its precious collections of more than 900,000 cultural and art objects, many of which are state relics.
