Beijing Architecture Set

I am a 14-year-old Lego fans who came to the United States two years ago. I am a “Beijinger”, I have lived in Beijing for more than 12 years. I spend all my childhood in Beijing, this city gives me so many precious memories.
Visiting Beijing is the biggest event in my 2020 summer plan. I am planning to meet my family, friends, and get to know more about Beijing during the trip. Unfortunately, it gets cancelled due to the COVID-19. I think designing this Lego set will bring my heart back to the city I loved. 
People can always find both modern and ancient architectural elements in Beijing. The Beijing Architecture Set includes the Tian’anmen Square, the Temple of Heaven, the CCTV Headquarters, and the CITIC Tower. Those four famous sites represent Beijing's culture, history, prosperity, and innovation. 

我是个乐高迷,今年十四岁,两年前离开北京来到美国上中学。我在北京生活了十二年多,这座城留下了我太多太多的美好回忆。
2020年暑假我原本计划回北京,与家人团聚,和昔日的小伙伴一起玩耍,然后在北京到处逛逛,更加深入地探究一下北京。但是因为疫情,计划泡汤了,实属遗憾。我用乐高做了一个北京的模型,以表达我对北京深深的思念。

北京是一个将传统文化和现代时尚元素融合在一起的城市。我所设计的这套乐高包括了北京古代和现代四个标志性建筑,分别是:天安门广场、天坛、中央电视台总部大楼(大裤衩)和北京中信大厦(中国尊)。这四个著名的建筑既代表了古代北京的文化和历史,也反映了现代北京的创新和繁荣。

Tian’anmen Square

The Tian’anmen Square is in the center of Beijing, it is one of the biggest squares in the world. This square is so famous because it has a unique architectural design and it also symbolize China. Tian’anmen was built in 1417, it was the main gate of the Imperial city of Beijing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The Jinshui Bridge is in front of Tian’anmen. Those bridges have stone lions in the front and magnificent sculptures on the sides.
The Chang An Avenue is the main street of Beijing which passes the Tian’anmen Square.

Temple of Heaven

The Temple of Heaven locates in the south of Beijing. It was built in 1420, where the emperor of Ming and Qing dynasty prayed for peace, harmony, and agricultural harvest.

The CCTV Headquarters is a modern building located at the Beijing CBD. Its special shape and eye-catching appearance make it become an irreplaceable landmark of Beijing.
