China Beijing Attractions - Forbidden City

China Beijing Attractions - Forbidden City The Forbidden City is the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is a comprehensive museum with many precious historical relics. In the Han Dynasty, the Forbidden City was called "Purple Palace". Since it was an important royal place, ordinary people were not allowed to enter it casually, so it was also called "Forbidden Land". In the Tang Dynasty, "Purple Palace" and "Forbidden Land" were used together, so it was called Forbidden City. After Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty came to power, he moved the capital to Beijing and began to build a palace. It was built in the 4th year of Ming Yongle and completed in the 18th year. During the more than 500 years between the Ming and Qing dynasties, a total of 24 emperors lived in the Forbidden City and ruled the country. It is not only an important decision-making place for the monarch, but also an important palace building in China. It was listed as one of the first "key cultural relics protection units" in 1961 and was listed in the "World Cultural Heritage List" in 1987. It is one of the famous landmark attractions in Beijing.
