故宫的英文介绍
The fobbiden City is the palace museum; also know as the Purple Forbidden City. It is the largest and most well reserved imperial residence in China today. Under Ming Emperor Yongle, construction began in 1406. It took 14years to build the Forbidden City. The first ruler who actually lived here was Ming Emperor Zhudi. For five centuries thereafter, it continued to be the residence of23 successive emperors until 1911 when Qing Emperor Puyi was forced to abdicate the throne. In 1987, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization recognized the Forbidden City was a world cultural legacy.
It is believed that the Palace Museum, or Zi Jin Cheng (Purple Forbidden City), got its name from astronomy folklore, The ancient astronomers divided the constellations into groups and centered them around the Ziwei Yuan (North Star) . The constellation containing the North Star was called the Constellation of Heavenly God and star itself was called the purple palace. Because the emperor was supposedly the son of the heavenly gods, his central and dominant position would be further highlighted the use of the word purple in the name of his residence. In folklore, the term “an eastern purple cloud is drifting” became a metaphor for auspicious events after a purple cloud was seen drifting eastward immediately before the arrival of an ancient philosopher, LaoZi, to the Hanghu Pass. Here, purple is associated with auspicious developments. The word jin (forbidden) is self-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-explanatory as the imperial palace was heavily guarded and off-limits to ordinary people.
The red and yellow used on the palace walls and roofs are also symbolic. Red represents happiness, good fortune and wealth. Yellow is the color of the earth on the Loess Plateau, the original home of the Chinese people. Yellow became an imperial color during the Tang dynasty, when only members of the royal family were allowed to wear it and use it in their architecture.
The Forbidden City is rectangular in shape. It is 960 meters long from north to south and 750 meter wide from east west. It has 9,900 rooms under a total roof area 150,000 square meters. A 52-meter-wide-moat encircles a 9. 9-meter—high wall which encloses the complex. Octagon —shaped turrets rest on the four corners of the wall. There are four entrances into the city: the Meridian Gate to the south, the Shenwu Gate (Gate of Military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate (Gate of military Prowess) to the north, and the Xihua Gate (Western Flowery Gate ) to the west, the Donghua (Eastern Flowery Gate) to the east.
Manpower and materials throughout the country were used to build the Forbidden City. A total of 230,000 artisans and one million laborers were employed. Marble was quarried from fangshan Country Mount Pan in Jixian County in Hebei Province. Granite was quarried in Quyang County in Hebei Province. Paving blocks were fired in kilns in Suzhou in southern China. Bricks and scarlet pigmentation used on the palatial walls came from linqing in Shandong Province. Timber was cut, processed and hauled from the northwestern and southern regions.

Possibly everybody can ask that, why has to speakthe Great Wall to construct in here? Actually this mainly is becauseof the Badaling area important geographical position.

That enemy towerstructure relative wants complex somewhat, divides into two, the lowerlevel is by the field, the well, returns, and so on the glyphcomposes, the upper formation has the crenel and looks the hole isobserves the military situation and the archery uses, therefore herealso has defends enemy's function.
Under arrived the beacon tower, also is called the beacon-fire, wolfYantai. Is disagrees the Great Wall connected independentconstruction.

颐和园的英文
Situated in the western outskirts of Haidian District， the Summer Palace is 15 kilometers (9.3 miles) from central Beijing. Having the largest royal park and being well preserved， it was designated， in 1960 by the State Council， as a Key Cultural Relics Protection Site of China. Containing examples of the ancient arts， it also has graceful landscapes and magnificent constructions. The Summer Palace is the archetypal Chinese garden， and is ranked amongst the most noted and classical gardens of the world. In 1998， it was listed as one of the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
Constructed in the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234)， during the succeeding reign of feudal emperors; it was extended continuously. By the time of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)， it had become a luxurious royal garden providing royal families with rest and entertainment. Originally called "Qingyi Garden" (Garden of Clear Ripples)， it was know as one of the famous "three hills and five gardens" (Longevity Hill， Jade Spring Mountain， and Fragrant Hill; Garden of Clear Ripples， Garden of Everlasting Spring， Garden of Perfection and Brightness， Garden of Tranquility and Brightness， and Garden of Tranquility and Pleasure). Like most of the gardens of Beijing， it could not elude the rampages of the Anglo-French allied force and was destroyed by fire. In 1888， Empress Dowager Cixi embezzled navy funds to reconstruct it for her own benefit， changing its name to Summer Palace (Yiheyuan). She spent most of her later years there， dealing with state affairs and entertaining. In 1900， it suffered again， being ransacked by the Eight-Power Allied Force. After the success of the 1911 Revolution， it was opened to the public.
Composed mainly of Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake， The Summer Palace occupies an area of 294 hectares (726.5 acres)， three quarters of which is water. Guided by nature， artists designed the gardens exquisitely so that visitors would see marvelous views and be amazed by perfect examples of refined craftwork using the finest materials.
Centered on the Tower of Buddhist Incense (Foxiangge) the Summer Palace consists of over 3，000 structures including pavilions， towers， bridges， and corridors. The Summer Palace can be divided into four parts: the court area， front-hill area， front-lake area， and rear-hill and back-lake area.
Front-Hill Area: this area is the most magnificent area in the Summer Palace with the most constructions. Its layout is quite distinctive because of the central axis from the yard of Kunming Lake to the hilltop， on which important buildings are positioned including Gate of Dispelling Clouds， Hall of Dispelling Clouds， Hall of Moral Glory， Tower of Buddhist Incense， the Hall of the Sea of Wisdom， etc.
Rear-Hill and Back-Lake Area: although the constructions are fewer here， it has a unique landscape， with dense green trees， and winding paths. Visitors can feel a rare tranquility， and elegance. This area includes scenic spots such as Garden of Harmonious Interest and Suzhou Market Street.
Court Area: this is where Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Guangxu met officials， conducted state affairs and rested. Entering the East Palace Gate， visitors may see the main palace buildings: the Hall of Benevolence and Longevity served as the office of the Emperor， the Hall of Jade Ripples where Guangxu lived， the Hall of Joyful Longevity， Cixi‘s residence， the Hall of Virtue and Harmony where Cixi was entertained.
Front Lake Area: covering a larger part of the Summer Palace， opens up the vista of the lake. A breeze fluttering， waves gleam and willows kiss the ripples of the vast water. In this comfortable area there are the Eastern and Western Banks， the Seventeen-Arch Bridge， Nanhu Island， and so on. On the western bank float six distinct bridges amongst which the Jade-Belt Bridge is the most beautiful.
