Fact 1: This palace is the biggest imperial place in the world, it is three times larger than the Louvre Palace in France. Fact 2: scientists had made an earthquake experiment with wooden replica of the palace, built without glue or nails. Under magnitude 10.1, the building had just moved a little bit and didn't collapse. Fact 3: In the legend, the palace contains 9,999 and half rooms in this huge city. But through research, the city contains at 8,700 rooms. Fact 4: Puyi, the last emperor of China, is the youngest emperor in china's history. He became the emperor at 3 years old and abdicated at 6, which is at 1912. After the 2 world wars and the civil war, he became a common resident in the People's Republic of China, and he need to buy a ticket to enter his old home, the forbidden city(at that time the palace become a tourist attraction) Fact 5: the city was a home for 24 emperors. Fact 6: it would take a few day to explore the whole city(even no eating and no sleep). But even you done exploring, there are another 10 - 20% that hasn't been opened to public yet. Fact 7: The city is 144 hour visa free to visit.
@@redpool1141 There's a trend that the area of Chinese palace inclined to decrease as the dynasty gets later. The largest one was Xianyang Palace, the royal place of Qin dynasty. Its main area was about 5 times larger than the forbidden city, and the rest palaces were scattered around the capital city of Qin which was a 40km diameter circle.
Being a Chinese, I have been there only once, the buildings are magnificent, but it's almost empty due to the war in the 19th and 20th centuries. Think back to the glory one hundred years ago with so many treasures in that golden palace.
+princesse228 Thank you! Yes, many great locations in China, too many for one or two trips :) Hopefully he had the chance to travel around to see more of it :)
No, its because the china gov at that time burned the embassies of many countries so they burn china back, its not solely the action of the other countries
It seem to be keep getting smaller, modern President palace is even smaller. I think the main purpose of having a big palace is to protect the Emperor, which is not that effective today. A lot of people protecting the President today find it more effective to have only so much guards station in the palace with guards patrolling nearby streets and army only minutes away.
I visited india and there are also top class architectural work present like ellora and ajanta caves... mainly kings there used to make big temples rather than forts...
No, it's not. The smallest imperial palace probably was from Southern Song(臨安行在) which is already gone. The Forbidden City we see toaday is frist built in Ming dynasty and continue in used until the end of Qing dynasty(500+ years), it's actually one of largest palaces in Chinese history.
I’ve been there last December 2019 and it was superb! Though, being on a winter trip I expect less crowd. However, it was nice to see what’s inside and it truly is a beauty.
During the Qing dynasty, the Chinese royal palace is much larger than just a forbidden city. Used to have 内城(inner city) surrounding the 皇城(royal city), forbidden city is the core of royal palace that surrounding by royal city. Royal city ≈8X size of the forbidden city. 3 layers, inner-city, royal city and most inside the forbidden city.
The world should know the truth. This project was designed by Vietnamese people. and the construction techniques of transporting large stones are all done by the Vietnamese.
Many beautiful, magnitude royal palaces was destroyed in history. It’s extreme pity that we cannot see them. I’m glad that the forbidden city was protected and didn’t suffer serious destruction.
Yes. In cultural revolution those damn red guards intended to destroy the forbidden city. That period of time was a nightmare and disaster in China. Lucky that the forbidden city is preserved well. But a lot of other historic sites and treasures were destroyed at that time.

When and What time did you take these photos and videos because I've been there several times and it was always unbelievably crowded with tour groups and visitors.
the month and year are listed in the video description, regarding the time - that was earlier in the morning, and yes it was crowded but I have been also patient enough to wait for a little less crowded scenes :)
papa zola I dont think there is a “chinese drama”. It’s a paradoxal country - one country two systems. Beijing is a beautiful city, clean, etc. They have a stunning infrastructure ( metro, highways like in USA, etc) People are friendly, very curious about foreigners. There is law and order even if the country is a communist dictatorship.

The sack of the Summer Palace “To Captain Butler Hauteville House, 25 November, 1861 You ask my opinion, Sir, about the China expedition. You consider this expedition to be honourable and glorious, and you have the kindness to attach some consideration to my feelings; according to you, the China expedition, carried out jointly under the flags of Queen Victoria and the Emperor Napoleon, is a glory to be shared between France and England, and you wish to know how much approval I feel I can give to this English and French victory. Since you wish to know my opinion, here it is: There was, in a corner of the world, a wonder of the world; this wonder was called the Summer Palace. Art has two principles, the Idea, which produces European art, and the Chimera, which produces oriental art. The Summer Palace was to chimerical art what the Parthenon is to ideal art. All that can be begotten of the imagination of an almost extra-human people was there. It was not a single, unique work like the Parthenon. It was a kind of enormous model of the chimera, if the chimera can have a model. Imagine some inexpressible construction, something like a lunar building, and you will have the Summer Palace. Build a dream with marble, jade, bronze and porcelain, frame it with cedar wood, cover it with precious stones, drape it with silk, make it here a sanctuary, there a harem, elsewhere a citadel, put gods there, and monsters, varnish it, enamel it, gild it, paint it, have architects who are poets build the thousand and one dreams of the thousand and one nights, add gardens, basins, gushing water and foam, swans, ibis, peacocks, suppose in a word a sort of dazzling cavern of human fantasy with the face of a temple and palace, such was this building. The slow work of generations had been necessary to create it. This edifice, as enormous as a city, had been built by the centuries, for whom? For the peoples. For the work of time belongs to man. Artists, poets and philosophers knew the Summer Palace; Voltaire talks of it. People spoke of the Parthenon in Greece, the pyramids in Egypt, the Coliseum in Rome, Notre-Dame in Paris, the Summer Palace in the Orient. If people did not see it they imagined it. It was a kind of tremendous unknown masterpiece, glimpsed from the distance in a kind of twilight, like a silhouette of the civilization of Asia on the horizon of the civilization of Europe. This wonder has disappeared. One day two bandits entered the Summer Palace. One plundered, the other burned. Victory can be a thieving woman, or so it seems. The devastation of the Summer Palace was accomplished by the two victors acting jointly. Mixed up in all this is the name of Elgin, which inevitably calls to mind the Parthenon. What was done to the Parthenon was done to the Summer Palace, more thoroughly and better, so that nothing of it should be left. All the treasures of all our cathedrals put together could not equal this formidable and splendid museum of the Orient. It contained not only masterpieces of art, but masses of jewelry. What a great exploit, what a windfall! One of the two victors filled his pockets; when the other saw this he filled his coffers. And back they came to Europe, arm in arm, laughing away. Such is the story of the two bandits. We Europeans are the civilized ones, and for us the Chinese are the barbarians. This is what civilization has done to barbarism. Before history, one of the two bandits will be called France; the other will be called England. But I protest, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity! the crimes of those who lead are not the fault of those who are led; Governments are sometimes bandits, peoples never. The French empire has pocketed half of this victory, and today with a kind of proprietorial naivety it displays the splendid bric-a-brac of the Summer Palace. I hope that a day will come when France, delivered and cleansed, will return this booty to despoiled China. Meanwhile, there is a theft and two thieves. I take note. This, Sir, is how much approval I give to the China expedition.”
Yes, he was born in this palace, lived here until 18 and then he was expelled from the palace . When he came back later he had to buy a ticket to get in.
Yuanmingyuan, to some extent, is more beautiful and spectacular than the Forbidden City. Unfortunately, it was burned down by the British and French forces

@Optimus Prime Seriously? You know how much money were spent in preserving it? Just compared with temples in Athen
I guess that is why it's called the forbidden city because some of the areas are forbidden.
This place is beautiful. Love from India. I really want to visit this palace. Hopefully someday.
India's historic relics are magnificent too, from China.

The Palace Museum was the ruling center of Ming and Qing Dynasties for more than 600 years
Just call it the Palace. Why do we have to call it a museum.
The same as before, is still an interesting place to visit. A great weekend :)
+M. Julian Enjoy wonderful weekend too :)
The Last Emperor 1987 movie brought me here. The way this palace is shown in that movie one cannot wait to see The Forbidden city in person🤩
Wonderful ! Majestic ! ! !
Truly amazing, thankfully I had the pleasure of visiting.
The world should know the truth. This project was designed by Vietnamese people. and the construction techniques of transporting large stones are all done by the Vietnamese.
a very spacious and beautiful palace, symbolizing a very powerful kingdom in the era. really great

When and What time did you take these photos and videos because I've been there several times and it was always unbelievably crowded with tour groups and visitors.
the month and year are listed in the video description, regarding the time - that was earlier in the morning, and yes it was crowded but I have been also patient enough to wait for a little less crowded scenes :)
Amazing. I hope to have a trip to BJ
Qing Dynasty's Forbidden Palace is relatively smaller compared with the Tang Empire's Daming Palace and Qin Empire's Epang Palace.
Actually the Ming Dynasty built the Forbidden City
The Forbidden City was the imperial palace of the Ming dynasty, and the qing dynasty was just a successor
beautiul city, I've been there this year in may :)
Wow...how was there? Is it same like chinese drama?
papa zola I dont think there is a “chinese drama”. It’s a paradoxal country - one country two systems. Beijing is a beautiful city, clean, etc. They have a stunning infrastructure ( metro, highways like in USA, etc) People are friendly, very curious about foreigners. There is law and order even if the country is a communist dictatorship.
@@MosNeagu1975 ouh...i mean forbidden city.have you been there?
papa zola yes. Very beautiful, full of history, many chinese tourists. If you wanna see more, check out my channel

Truly Majestic beyond words !!!
Very nice place, "you done it again " Thank you, have a good evening.
+Ki-Sha Daimyo Thank you, I really did this place second time so I was not planning to take video again but the day was so unusually clear fro Beijing, and given the temptation of 4K quality, I began filming :)
+Amazing Places on our Planet Welcome Milosh,that was a good temptation...oh yes. Do you like winter ? Alaska with Malamute ride on a sled..that will be fun.
Ki-Sha Daimyo Probably I should first do Alska in summer :)
Magnificant!
The fact is most of times Royal family were not living in forbidden city,but Summer palace which is more amazing
That has to be the least smoggy day in Beijing in a decade
Good !
So beautifully filmed!
很美丽
Nice place.......☺from india
The sack of the Summer Palace
“To Captain Butler
Hauteville House,
25 November, 1861
You ask my opinion, Sir, about the China expedition. You consider this expedition to be honourable and glorious, and you have the kindness to attach some consideration to my feelings; according to you, the China expedition, carried out jointly under the flags of Queen Victoria and the Emperor Napoleon, is a glory to be shared between France and England, and you wish to know how much approval I feel
I can give to this English and French victory.
Since you wish to know my opinion, here it is:
There was, in a corner of the world, a wonder of the world; this wonder was called the Summer Palace. Art has two principles, the Idea, which produces European art, and the Chimera, which produces oriental art. The Summer Palace was to chimerical art what the Parthenon is to ideal art. All that can be begotten of the imagination of an almost extra-human people was there. It was not a single, unique work like the Parthenon. It was a kind of enormous model of the chimera, if the chimera can have a model. Imagine some inexpressible construction, something like a lunar building, and you will have the Summer Palace. Build a dream with marble, jade, bronze and porcelain, frame it with cedar wood, cover it with precious stones, drape it with silk, make it here a sanctuary, there a harem, elsewhere a citadel, put gods there, and monsters, varnish it, enamel it, gild it, paint it, have architects who are poets build the thousand and one dreams of the thousand and one nights, add gardens, basins, gushing water and foam, swans, ibis, peacocks, suppose in a word a sort of dazzling cavern of human fantasy with the face of a temple and palace, such was this building. The slow work of generations had been necessary to create it. This edifice, as enormous as a city, had been built by the centuries, for whom? For the peoples. For the work of time belongs to man. Artists, poets and philosophers knew the Summer Palace; Voltaire talks of it. People spoke of the Parthenon in Greece, the pyramids in Egypt, the Coliseum in Rome, Notre-Dame in Paris, the Summer Palace in the Orient. If people did not see it they imagined it. It was a kind of tremendous unknown masterpiece, glimpsed from the distance in a kind of twilight, like a silhouette of the civilization of Asia on the horizon of the civilization of Europe.
This wonder has disappeared.
One day two bandits entered the Summer Palace. One plundered, the other burned. Victory can be a thieving woman, or so it seems. The devastation of the Summer Palace was accomplished by the two victors acting jointly. Mixed up in all this is the name of Elgin, which inevitably calls to mind the Parthenon. What was done to the Parthenon was done to the Summer Palace, more thoroughly and better, so that nothing of it should be left. All the treasures of all our cathedrals put together could not equal this formidable and splendid museum of the Orient. It contained not only masterpieces of art, but masses of jewelry. What a great exploit, what a windfall! One of the two victors filled his pockets; when the other saw this he filled his coffers. And back they came to Europe, arm in arm, laughing away. Such is the story of the two bandits.
We Europeans are the civilized ones, and for us the Chinese are the barbarians. This is what civilization has done to barbarism.
Before history, one of the two bandits will be called France; the other will be called England. But I protest, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity! the crimes of those who lead are not the fault of those who are led; Governments are sometimes bandits, peoples never.
The French empire has pocketed half of this victory, and today with a kind of proprietorial naivety it displays the splendid bric-a-brac of the Summer Palace. I hope that a day will come when France, delivered and cleansed, will return this booty to despoiled China.
Meanwhile, there is a theft and two thieves.
I take note.
This, Sir, is how much approval I give to the China expedition.”
这个作者好了解故宫，背景音乐都完全是故宫御用的
Do they use the forbidden city for anything now than just a sort of museums to explore?
only for tourism
Gorgeous 😍😍😍
4years……it come to my eyes
such a lovely place and full of history
WOW I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH
ME TOO
I LOVE YOUR PFP
Nice presentation
Merci beaucoup
Solange
+Mamie Solange Merci Solange :)
I can't understand? Why it is forbidden city. On what grounds it is forbidden?
During Imperial times it was forbidden for the common people
Esto es super😎😎😎
Is this the same place puyi the last empreror lived ?
Yes, he was born in this palace, lived here until 18 and then he was expelled from the palace . When he came back later he had to buy a ticket to get in.
Yuanmingyuan, to some extent, is more beautiful and spectacular than the Forbidden City. Unfortunately, it was burned down by the British and French forces
My dream is to visit this mysterious place, I hope I can go in this lifetime
i love china ifrom thailand
