Beijing is a modern city, but it is also a city of a long history. Here are the four “must-sees” on every visitor's list of the capital.
Between 1421 and 1912, the Palace Museum was the home of China's emperors and their families. There were about ten thousand houses in the palace. The buildings in the Palace Museum are now for visiting. It's in the center of Beijing.
The Summer Palace is in the northwest of Beijing. In the past, it was the summer home of the emperors' families. It is the largest park in China now.
The Temple of Heaven in Tiantan park is in the southern part of Beijing. The buildings are from the15th century with a style of the Ming Dynasty.
The Great Wall at Badaling is the part of the wall that receives the most visitors. It was built during the Ming Dynasty to stop enemies. It follows the shape of the land, so it goes up and down a lot and it's hard work for walking.

北京是一座现代化的城市，但她也是一座有悠久历史的城市，在每个参观者的首都列表中，这里有四个“必看”：
1421年(明朝永乐皇帝迁都北京)至1912年期间，故宫博物院是中国皇帝及家人的住所，宫殿内有上万间房屋，现在故宫内的建筑用来参观，它位于北京市中心。
颐和园位于北京西北部，过去是皇帝家庭夏天之家，现在是中国最大的公园。
天坛公园内的天坛，位于北京南部，这些建筑是来自15世纪明朝的风格。
八达岭长城是接收大多数游客的城墙的一部分，它建立在明朝期间用来防御敌人，它跟随地形的形状，因此，它向上向下延伸，行走起来比较困难。（七年级同步阅读理解练习题，潜龙家教谭老师译文并录入，答案略，不便之处敬请谅解，谢谢！） |
