The Forbidden City, home of the Emperors

The most iconic cultural heritage of China... the Forbidden City, home of the Emperors! The Forbidden City was constructed from 1406 to 1420, and was the former Chinese imperial palace and winter residence of the Emperor of China from the Ming dynasty to the end of the Qing dynasty, between 1420 and 1924. It served as the home of Chinese emperors and their households and was the ceremonial and political center of the Chinese government for over 500 years. The complex consists of 980 buildings, encompassing 8,886 rooms and covering 720,000 m2. It is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world! This palace is so vast that is impossible to visit all of it at once... this is the 3rd time I have been there, and still haven't finished to see all the beautiful and interesting things that you can admire between these walls! So glad I got to visit without too many people around this time. Despite the cold temperatures, visiting this majestic place is always such a pleasure! #beijing #forbiddencity #thepalacemuseum
