Extended information

The construction of the Beijing Forbidden City began in the fourth year of Yongle (1406), the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty (1406). It was built based on the Nanjing Forbidden City and was completed in the 18th year of Yongle (1420). It is a rectangular city with a length of 961 meters from north to south and a width of 753 meters from east to west. It is surrounded by walls 10 meters high and a moat 52 meters wide outside the city. The buildings in the Forbidden City are divided into two parts: the outer court and the inner court.

The center of the outer dynasty is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe, and the Hall of Baohe, collectively referred to as the three main halls. They are the places where the country holds major ceremonies. The center of the inner court is the Qianqing Palace, the Jiaotai Palace, and the Kunning Palace, collectively known as the Back Three Palaces. They are the main palace where the emperor and queen live.

The Forbidden City in Beijing is known as the first of the five major palaces in the world (Forbidden City in Beijing, Versailles in France, Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, the White House in the United States, and the Kremlin in Russia). It is a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction and was listed as the first in 1961. It was approved as a national key cultural relic protection unit and was listed as a world cultural heritage in 1987.
