北京是中国“四大古都”之一，拥有6项世界级遗产，是世界上拥有文化遗产项目数最多的城市，北京是一座有着三千余年建城历史、八百六十余年建都史的历史文化名城，拥有众多历史名胜古迹和人文景观。下面是我整理的北京十大景点英文，希望大家能喜欢!
紫荆城Forbidden City ( the Imperial Palace )
北京是迅速发展着的首都古城。紫荆城，作为揭开北京神秘面纱的理想出发点，可以让你开启一段品味历史的旅程。
Beijing is an old capital city developing at a fast pace. The Forbidden City is the ideal place for you to begin your exploration of Beijing by opening its mysterious face.
旅途小贴士：
由于路途比较远，选上一双舒适的鞋子尤其重要。最重要的是有一位导游，他可以为你解说一段不为人知的历史故事，如果你没有跟团，也可以在午门或者神武门那租一个多语言导游仪，可以在旅途结束后还回去。
Travel Tips：
Make sure to wear comfortable shoes as you have to walk a lot! I highly recommend you to have a guide. It is quite helpful to have a guide escort you and tell the stories behind the palace. If you are a non-group tourist, I suggest you rent a multi lingual guide recorder either at Meridian Gate (southern gate of Forbidden city) or the Gate of Divine Prowess (Northern gate of Forbidden City) and return it when you finish your Forbidden City Tour.

Beijing is a city where the old cultural traditions and the modern civilization are well integrated. Each year thousands of visitors and tourists come to Beijing to enjoy and feel its unique culture and scenery.
Beijing is endowed with rare cultural heritage due to its long history. The Great Wall, one of the world wonders and the sole man-made architecture which can be seen from space, extends several hundred miles in Beijing. The poetic and picturesque Summer Palace is the classic works of the feudal dynasty garden. The Forbidden City is the most splendid group of imperial palace in the world. The temple of heaven is the place of worship for emperors of various dynasties of China as well as a splendid achievement of the Chinese ancient architectural art. The above four have been selected by the United Nations organization of education, Science and Culture as the world cultural heritage. What is typical of Beijing is hutong and the compound courtyard (old Beijing residential quarters), which are now disappearing. These streets and buildings witnessed ups and downs of the city and the people in the past centuries and are a typical symbol of the life of Beijing people.
Changes have taken place day by day in Beijing since China's reform and opening to the outside world is being deepened. As a popular saying goes around here, Beijing is growing taller with more and more high buildings younger with the people's life richer and more colorful. Beijing is advancing more rapidly with full confidence in the 21st century.
This is Beijing, old and young, full of attraction. It is our sincere hope that you will make best of your time here to visit more places and enjoy more scenery and we believe you will harvest a lot.

Beijing in Chinese means "capital in the north". Its establishment could be traced back to more than 3000 years ago. From 1272 to 1911, Beijing was the capital of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. After the People's Republic of China was founded in 1949, Beijing is the capital of new China.
