Forbidden Worlds
A Monumental Unesco Heritage Site – the Forbidden City
From the middle of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Forbidden City was the imperial palace of the Chinese. The city is situated in the center of Beijing and shelters the Palace Museum. The Emperor and his family had used it as their home for nearly 5 centuries and it served as the ritual and political center of the Chinese government.
The location of the Forbidden City was a component of the Imperial city all through the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. It was here that the ruling Mongol families could conserve their Mongolian civilization. When the institution of the Ming Dynasty took place, the Hongwu Emperor shifted the capital from Beijing Nanjing and dictated that the Mongol castles be demolished. When his son Zhu Di became the Yongle Emperor, he shifted the capital to Beijing, and building began in 1406 of the present Forbidden City.
The building complex comprises of 980 lasting buildings with 8707 alcoves of rooms and extends 720,000 square meters. The Forbidden City is the world's biggest existing palace complex. The palace grounds illustrate conventional Chinese architecture. The Forbidden City was announced a World Heritage Site in 1987 and is heralded by UNESCO as the major gathering of conserved ancient wooden constructions in the world.
The Forbidden City has been in control of the Palace Museum from the year 1924. The artwork and the artifacts are built on the royal collection of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Both museums fall under the same organization, but were disunited after the Chinese Civil War.
Visit the Forbidden City at leisure while enjoying the comforts of a recommended hotel in Beijing. China has many heritage sites, and Beijing has most of it. Besides the historical aspects, China also has many adventures and activities, for which your Beijing hotel concierge will help you make arrangements.
