Today, I want to introduce another history site in China, and it is named the Imperial Palace, sometimes it is also named the Forbidden City. It is one of the biggest ancient architectures in China. If you like ancient architectures, I think you also like them because it is great and beautiful.
The Imperial Palace is located in the central of Beijing, and it is 961 meters long from south to north, 753 meters wide, and its total area is 725,000 square meters, and the area of structure is 155,000 square meters. In 1973, experts measured that there were 8704 rooms. The Imperial Palace has 4 gates, and there is named Wu Gate, Donghua Gate, Xihua Gate, and Shenwu Gate. Wu Gate is south gate. Donghua Gate is east gate. Xihua Gate is west gate. Shenwu Gate is north gate. The Imperial Palace can be separated two parts that are the Outer Palace and the Inner Palace. The wall of the Imperial Palace is 12 meter high and 3400 meter long. There is a river out the palace, and it is 52 meter wide.
The Imperial Palace was built by Ming Dynasty in 1406, and it was lived by 24 emperors. It represents the power of emperors, and there lived many servant and imperial concubines. In 1949, the People’s Republic of China was built, the Imperial Palace was changed to a museum, and people can went to there and looked them.
