The Forbidden City Holidays

The Forbidden City is located in the middle of Beijing and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost 500 years, it served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government.

The city was built in 1406 to 1420 and whole complex consists of 980 buildings and covers.  It has the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.  
 
Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork and artefacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
 
It is suggested that when visiting the city that tourists bring their own food, as there are only few places inside the palace providing drinks and light meals. When shopping head to the Gate of Heavenly Purity, Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Imperial Garden. On the way from the Gate of Earthly Tranquillity you’ll find two cafes providing coffee and hot drinks.
 
The Forbidden City is a must to see when traveling to Beijing. This is a trip for admiring architecture, history lovers, and those who love an ancient palace story.
