Imperial Palace

Most visitors to Beijing, especially those who come to Beijing for the first time, will regard the Forbidden City as a must. The Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City, is the palace of 24 emperors in Ming and Qing Dynasties and a symbol of ancient China. The long history has left a lot of precious buildings and countless cultural relics here, and it has also become the main attraction to visit the Forbidden City today.

The Forbidden City is the most complete and largest ancient wooden structure complex in China and even in the world, and is known as the first of the five largest palaces in the world (the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Palace of Versailles in France, Buckingham Palace in Britain, the White House in the United States and the Russian Kremlin). According to its layout and function, its building is divided into two parts: "outer courtyard" and "inner courtyard". It is bounded by Gan Qing Gate, with the outer court to the south of Gan Qing Gate and the inner court to the north. The architectural atmosphere of the two parts is very different. The outer dynasty, also known as the "former dynasty", centered on the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe and the Hall of Baohe, was the place where feudal emperors exercised their power and held ceremonies. Especially the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which is often called "Golden Hall" in film and television dramas, is the absolute center of the whole palace and should not be missed. The palaces centered on Gan Qing Palace, Jiaotai Palace, Kunning Palace, and the six palaces on the east and west sides are the residences of feudal emperors and empresses, also known as "three palaces and six courtyards". The courtyard is deep, the building is compact, self-contained and orderly.

There are a large number of precious cultural relics in the Forbidden City. According to statistics, there are millions of them, accounting for one sixth of the total number of cultural relics in China. According to the different types of cultural relics, it is divided into several exhibition halls, such as comprehensive history museum, painting museum, ceramic museum, bronze museum, Ming and Qing arts and crafts museum, seal cutting museum, toy museum, Four Treasures of the Study museum, plaything museum, etc., as well as the exhibition of cultural relics in the Qing Dynasty.

The main building is in the inner altar, with the ball altar in the south and the valley prayer altar in the north, which are on the same north-south axis.
