1、故宫，又名紫禁城，为明清共二十四位皇帝统治中国近500年的皇宫。它位于北京市中心，在天安门广场的北侧，形状为长方形。南北长960米，东西宽 750米，占地72公顷，总建筑面积达15万平方米。故宫是世界上现存规模最大、最完整的古代木构宫殿。它分为外朝和内廷两部分，外朝是皇帝上朝处理国家大事的地方，内廷是皇帝和皇室的居住地。1987年，故宫被联合国教科文组织列入世界文化遗产。
 
The Palace Museum, also called the Forbidden City was the palace where the 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties ruled China for roughly 500 years. The Imperial Palace is located in the center of Beijing, on the northern side of Tian’anmen Square, rectangular in shape, 960 meters from north to south and 750 meters wide from east to west, with an area of 72 hectares and a total floor space of 150 000 square meters. It’s the world’s largest and most integral palace made of wood in existence. The Forbidden City is divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court. The outer court was the place where the emperors gave audience and handled state affairs, while the inner court was the living quarters for the emperors and their families. In 1987 the Imperial Palace was listed by the UNESCO as one of the World Cultural Heritage sites.

2、长城，又称万里长城，是中国古代的军事防御工事，是一道高大、坚固而且连绵不断的长垣，用以限隔敌骑的行动。长城不是一道单纯孤立的城墙，而是以城墙为主体，同大量的城、障、亭、标相结合的防御体系。长城修筑的历史可上溯到西周时期，发生在首都镐京（今陕西西安）的著名典故“烽火戏诸侯”就源于此。春秋战国时期，列国争霸，互相防守，长城修筑进入第一个高潮，但此时修筑的长度都比较短。秦灭六国统一天下后，秦始皇连接和修缮战国长城，始有万里长城之称。明朝是最后一个大修长城的朝代，人们所看到的长城多是此时修筑。1987年12月，长城被列为世界文化遗产 。

The Great Wall, also known as the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Li, is an ancient military defense structure in China, a massive, solid, and continuous rampart designed to limit the movement of enemy cavalry. It is not just a standalone wall but a defense system combining walls with numerous forts, barriers, pavilions, and beacons. The history of the Great Wall can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, with the famous anecdote "Beacons of war light up the kings" originating from the capital, Haojing (now Xi'an, Shaanxi). During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, as states vied for supremacy and defense, the construction of the Great Wall entered its first peak, although the walls built during this time were relatively short. After the unification of China by the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Qin Shi Huang connected and repaired the walls built during the Warring States Period, giving rise to the moniker "the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Li." The Ming Dynasty was the last dynasty to extensively repair the Great Wall, and most of what we see today dates from this period. In December 1987, the Great Wall was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
