What's this?It's easy for all of us to answer this question--it's the Temple of Heaven,which is in Beijing.It's has been the sign of Beijing for its long history and unique architecture style.Just as the Temple of Heaven,some architectures are not only themseleves,but also the symbol of the city,or even the country,which is named LandMark.It's today's topic.

First,Let's enjoy some famouse architectures we all know:

Eiffel Tower,Paris

Statue of Liberty,New York

Sydney Opera House,Sydney

The Leaning Tower Of Pisa,Pisa

I ever completed an essay on landmark about four years ago,in which I wrote:

一提起"天安门"，人们会想到中国北京，想起红墙青瓦，感到肃穆庄严；一提起"自由女神像"，人们会想到美国纽约，唤起对和平和自由的向往；一提起"金字塔"，人们会想起故国埃及，想到帝王古墓的神秘莫测．．．．．．

无论是天安门，还是自由女神像，或是金字塔，让人们联想起的不仅仅只是其建筑本身，往往还让人们很自然地联想到它的地位、作用、艺术价值，联想到与之相关的历史、文化、风俗、习惯，等等。这类建筑已经不再仅仅是砖木钢砼的简单堆积和砌筑，它的形成汇聚了某个时期的思想、精神、理念和信仰，在一定的空间区域具有独特之处，具有定位和指向作用，从而成为历史的写照，或是时代的象征，或是精神的凝聚，具有高度的代表性和现实意义，这就是标志性建筑。

I noted that almost the landmark is the largest,or the highest,or has a long history,or has special story,and in one word it's different from others by something spcial.

By the way,Here are more landmark of numbers of Chinese cities.(URL)
