Beijing posters and its history

Since the birth of Chinese civilization, different towns of varying size and importance have stood at or near the site of what is today’s Beijing. Many dynasties ruled over this piece of land, such as the Ming dynasty where its emperor, Yongle, constructed a magnificent new palace in Beijing of enormous size which you will also see in Beijing posters. This maze of interlinking halls, gates and courtyard homes is known as the Forbidden City. The Ming dynasty also heavily contributed to China's grandest project, the Great Wall. They linked or reinforced several existing walls and traversed seemingly impassable mountains. The majority of the most spectacular stretches of the wall that can be visited near Beijing were built during the Ming Dynasty. As you can, Beijing posters are not only wonderful to look at, but also a valuable tool in learning things about China and its wonders.

Is it also worth noting that today's Beijing has some 20 million residents. Beijing posters can show that this location is a fascinating mix of old and new. Even though it has sublime history and is heavy on culture, there is now a more modern side to the city to consider, one perhaps best encapsulated by the drastic changes continually being made to its skyline. Beijing posters such as the set of "Beijing Skyline" come in different tones and hues, making it an ideal decorative tool for your home, office or recreational space. In modern Beijing, the ancient and the sparkling new are constantly colliding which is the result of an incongruous mixture of new prosperity and throwback politics. "Bejing Buildings", for example shows the beautiful ancient touch, while a Beijing poster like "Beijing" shows the more modern scene.
