The Forbidden city was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming dynasty to the end of the Qing
dynasty. It is located in the center of Beijing, China, 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 center of Chinese government.
Built in 1406 to 1420, the complex consists of 980 buildings and covers 720,000 m2.The palace complex exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial structure,and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere.
I think that the forbidden city is one place that is mystic and of prestige to the people.Now that it is open to the public I would really want to visit this place as it is the most private of palaces in Chinese history
