Introduction to the Forbidden City in Beijing

The Forbidden City in Beijing is the royal palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties in China. It was formerly known as the Forbidden City and is located at the center of Beijing's central axis.

There are more than 70 large and small palaces and more than 9,000 houses. The construction of the Forbidden City in Beijing began in the fourth year of Yongle (1406), the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, and was modeled on the Forbidden City in Nanjing. It was completed in the eighteenth year of Yongle (1420) and became the palace for twenty-four emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. On the National Day of the 14th year of the Republic of China (October 10, 1925), the Palace Museum was officially established and opened.
