Forbidden City Travel Tips

Overview
The "Imperial Palace" is the Royal Palace of Ming and Qing Dynasties in China, formerly known as the Forbidden City (of Beijing), located in the center of Beijing. It was built in 1406 and completed in 1420. The Forbidden City of Beijing is one of the largest and best preserved ancient wooden structures in the world. It is a national AAAAA tourist attraction and was listed as a world cultural heritage in 1987.

Ancient China paid attention to the planning concept of "The unity of man and nature", using the stars in the sky to correspond with the capital planning, so as to highlight the legitimacy of political power and the supremacy of imperial power. The ancient emperor is like an emissary sent by God. The Ziwei Palace in the sky corresponds to the name of the imperial palace. As the Imperial Palace was forbidden in ancient times, ordinary people could not enter it, so it was called "Forbidden City".
