Book Source: Chinese Architecture by Laurence G. Liu
The Great Wall of China was built over 2,000 years ago, by Qin Shi Huangdi (10,000 Li = about 5,000 km). After subjugating and uniting China, the emperor started to build the Great Wall to stop the foreign enemies from invading China. The Great Wall extends across the mountains of northern China. It’s constructed of masonry, rocks, and packed-earth. During the Ming Dynasty (13681644), the Great Wall was enlarged to 6,400 kilometers (4,000 miles) and renovated over a 200-year period. The Great Wall is the largest construction project ever completed in the whole wide world. http://www.viewzone.com/china.wallshot.jpg

The Temple of Heaven is situated in the southern part of Beijing, about 6 km away from the center of the city. It is the one of the largest parks in Beijing, built in 1420. The Temple of Heaven was the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties worshipped heaven and prayed for good harvests. The emperors visited the temple three times a year. In imperial days, the Chinese people believed that the sky was in circular shape and the earth was square. On the basis of this traditional concept, the circle was widely adopted in the design of the temple's main building. It is in accord with people's imagination of heaven.
Japanese Tea House
The path of a Japanese Tea Garden is flanked by lovely white birch trees. These tea houses are used on special, usually spiritual occasions with hosts and guests. In the front, there are also sliding shoji doors, but the guests of the tea party enter through the left side entrance called the low nijiriguchi, which makes them kneel when they come through the door, showing humbleness.
