Beautifully rendered drawings are a feast for the eyes. Part architectural tour, part intro to Chinese history and culture, this book showcases one of China’s most famous landmarks.

This is an amazing and precious book I would certainly purchase for libraries, and for my friends, not only juniors, and most certainly for myself - to bring it along while my family and I travel to Beijing. The historical background of this grand metropolis, a 1000 years old capital of 5 dynasties, not only well written, beautifully illustrated, but also with a detailed analysis of its classical architectural design which is unique offering fascinating new insights.

Really enjoy this book, it feels like you're being transported to Beijing, and going on a tour in that old times. A must read book before you land first on the city itself, or even bring it with you so you can relive those emperor eras while walking around. Or like me, enjoy the book and dreaming while stay at home.
