Red Fort Complex
The Red Fort complex is the palace-fortress of Shahjahanabad, the new capital of India's fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan. Named for its massive red sandstone enclosure, the Red Fort adjoins an even older fort, Salimgarh Fort, built by Islam Shah Suri in 1546. The private apartments consist of a row of pavilions connected by a continuous water channel known as the Nahr-i-Behisht (Stream of Paradise). The Red Fort is considered to represent the pinnacle of Mughal creativity, which was taken to a new level of sophistication under Shah Jahan's rule. The planning of the palace is based on Islamic prototypes, but each pavilion displays architectural elements typical of Mughal architecture, reflecting a fusion of Persian, Timurid and Hindu traditions. The innovative planning and architectural style of the Red Fort, including the design of its gardens, had a strong influence on later buildings and gardens in Rajasthan, Delhi, Agra and further afield.
Agra Fort
Near the Taj Mahal Gardens stands the Red Fort of Agra, an important 16th-century Mughal monument. This majestic red sandstone fortress has 2.5 km of walls and houses the imperial city of the Mughal rulers. It includes many fairy-tale palaces, such as the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Palace built by Shah Jahan; audience halls, such as the Diwan-i-Khas; and two very beautiful mosques.
Qutb Minar and its Monuments, Delhi
Built in the early 13th century, a few kilometers south of Delhi, the Qutb Minar is made of red sandstone, 72.5 meters high, 2.75 meters in diameter at the top and 14.32 meters in diameter at the base. It is conical in shape, with alternating angular and circular grooves. The archaeological area surrounding the tower contains funerary buildings, especially the magnificent Alai-Darwaza Gate, a masterpiece of Indian Muslim art (built in 1311), and two mosques, including the Quwwatu'l-Islam Mosque, the oldest mosque in northern India, with about 20 Brahmin temples.
Langya Mountain
Langya Mountain is located in the southwest of Yi County, Hebei Province. It consists of five 36 peaks. The main peak, Lotus Petal, is 1,105 meters above sea level. The mountain is steep and upright, like a giant wolf's tooth of uneven length, so it is named "Langya Mountain". The main peak, Lotus Petal, is 1,105 meters above sea level. The northwest two sides are steep cliffs, and the southeast two sides are slightly lower. There is a narrow path leading to the main peak. "Yanwang Nose" and "Little Devil Face" and other dangerous places still need to pass by the wall. Climbing up and looking far away, the peaks stand in a row, rugged and steep, like wolf's teeth, and the fog in the stream is ethereal and mysterious. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese army swept Langya Mountain. In order to cover the retreat of the main force, the Eighth Route Army soldiers Ma Baoyu, Ge Zhenlin, Song Xueyi and other five people fought for 5 hours, fired the last bullet, and bravely jumped off the cliff. In 1942, in order to commemorate the heroic deeds of the five warriors, a memorial tower for the five warriors was built on the main peak of Langya Mountain, Qipantuo. It was rebuilt in 1958, and Marshal Nie Rongzhen personally wrote "Memorial Tower of the Five Warriors of Langya Mountain". "Langya Jingxiu" is one of the ancient landscapes of ancient Yandu, known as the "Little Huangshan Mountain in the North". The main landscapes include the Red Agate Cave and Qipantuo. Langya Mountain is a national patriotism education base, a national forest park, and one of the 100 classic red tourist attractions in China.
