Beijing"s Forbidden City

The next post on the trip to China. Will be on the Forbidden City. Home of all of the Chinese emperors who ruled China.

The Forbidden City is a palace complex in central Beijing, China. The former Chinese imperial palace from the Ming dynasty, to the end of the Qing dynasty,(the years 1420 to 1912), it now houses the Palace Museum. The Forbidden City served as the home of emperors and their households as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government for almost 500 years.

It was very interesting to experience walking though this very special place of Chinese history. We did not enter any of the building in the Forbidden City. Here are my photos.

The following is the Gardens of the Forbidden City

Walking to our bus to be picked up.
