- Travel Video.
DVD. Vista
Point. 26 Minutes.
Entry to the Imperial
City of Beijing is through
 the Gates Of Heavenly Peace and suddenly the
largest square in the world becomes a contemporary symbol of the
enormity of China and the irresistible fascination, both ancient and
modern, of its people, history and culture.
The Forbidden City, home to 24 Emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties,
is a supreme spectacle of power, and the enormous dimensions of the
Emperor’s Palace demonstrate the Emperor’s time-honoured function as
being mediator between Heaven and Earth.
The Emperor’s Garden, The Confucius Temple, The Garden of Harmonious
Unity, The Perfumed Mountain and The Temple of the White Pagoda, are but
a few of the enchanting names associated with China’s most enigmatic,

Forbidden City Peking
-
Travel Video. DVD.
Global Treasures.
10 Minutes.
The
Chinese Emperors’ Palace known as, ‘The Forbidden City’, is located
in
the heart of Peking. From here the “Sons of Heaven” ruled the vast
Chinese Empire for more than five centuries, although the portrait of
Chairman Mao at the Palace’s ‘Noon Gate’ makes the influence of China’s
modern political system apparent to all.
The history of the Empire city of which admission to ordinary mortals
was denied for centuries, is closely associated with the rulers of the
Quing and Ming dynasties.
The Forbidden City is a perfect ensemble of classical Chinese
architecture which to the present day has been well-protected, a
responsibility now the domain of the soldiers of the People’s Republic.

Tian Tan
(Temple of Heaven Peking)
-
Travel Video. DVD.
Global Treasures.
10 Minutes.
Magnificent roofs and archways decorate the impressive entrance
 of
the Temple of Tian Tan in China’s capital, Beijing.
Tian Tan Park covers an area of around 270 hectares and is one of the
largest temple grounds in China. The temple was built toward the
beginning of the 15th century by the Ming Emperor, Yongle, and was
originally used for the worship of Heaven and Earth. The splendid
architecture and design of the buildings demonstrates the former social
importance of the temple during the time of the Ming Dynasty.
The striking roofs of the Hall Of Harvest Sacrifice are covered with
almost 50,000 shining blue glazed tiles that symbolize both sky and
heaven and its interior extends to a height of 38m. with four majestic
columns supporting the uppermost roof, each one representing the four
seasons.
During the magical moments of twilight, the ancient Chinese belief that
the holy temple of Tian Tan is the one place nearest to heaven,
certainly begins to make sense. As the sun touches the towers, roofs and
animal imagery of the temple, it creates a magnificent portrait plus an
array of beautiful architectural silhouettes.
Right up to this day, the temple of TIAN TAN is a magnificent symbol of
unity between Heaven and Earth.

Yihe Yuan (Summer Palace Peking)
-
Travel Video. DVD.
Global Treasures.
10 Minutes.
The former
summer palace of the Late Empire Dynasty of Yihe Yuan is located
 among
the northwestern outskirts of the Chinese capital of Peking. It is also
known as ‘The Garden of Harmonious Pleasures’.
However, a number of buildings have managed to survive the ravages of
time. In1860 the Opium Wars reached the summer palace of Yihe Yuan.
Western colonial troupes devastated the Chinese Garden and destroyed
numerous buildings. Reconstruction of the pavilion was due to the
Emperor’s widow, Cixi. After the death of her husband, Ianfeng, in 1861,
the empress took control of the empire and subsequently ordered the
restoration of the buildings that were destroyed during the OpiumWars.
The dominant ‘Longevity Hill’, known as Wanshou Shan, is crowned by a 41
metre high pavilion, The Tower Of Buddhist Virtue that was built in
1750.
For many years a cruise on Kunming Lake has not been reserved solely for
the former family of the emperor as it is now frequented by tourists
from around the world. The widow’s favourite haunt was the Marble Boat
from which she enjoyed the magnificent view across the lake. In spite of
past military destruction, the natural beauty of the elegant gardens of
the Yihe Yuan Palace has been extremely well preserved.
