- Forbidden City is the widely popular name of the Imperial Palace in Beijing. On the list of the UNESCO World Heritage (quote): "Seat of supreme power for over five centuries (1416-1911), the Forbidden City in Beijing, with its landscaped gardens and many buildings (whose nearly 10,000 rooms contain furniture and works of art), constitutes a priceless testimony to Chinese civilization during the Ming and Qing dynasties"

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.
How neat is the architecture. Ancient Engineers were a real gem.
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.
@@wanxiangchen2114 The best of the treasures were taken to Taiwan.
@@wanxiangchen2114 No,no,no, Taiwan will be back to China finally, peacefully. Let them keep the treasures for maybe some other decades, Lol.
Fun Fact: the forbidden city is the smallest palace among the dynasties of Chinese history, but also the only one that remains.
really ? then what is the largest one ?
@@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.
@@allee6261 Whooaaa thats pretty massive. Thank you for the informationn 🙏👍👍
@@allee6261 Xianyang Palace is massive but Weiyang Palace is the way bigger according to wikipedia. If only you want to crosscheck it 🙏
@@redpool1141 Yeah I just checked it and you’re right! Weiyang Palace was the largest palace ever built on Earth, thank you for the correction!
There are only 65% area of Forbidden City open for the public. It is planned to increase the area for tourists up to 90% in 2020
I hope so but we must respect that place
I can't wait! I would love to explore.
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.
@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.
My husband worked there, he had the chance to visit all these wonderful places!
Thank you for sharing!
+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 :)
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.
have been to India once，really friendly country
I love India more than China
China is a slave state prison
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...
Fun fact: the summer palace is as magnificent as the forbidden city, if British-French joint armies didn’t rob it and burn it down.
They should rebuild it just to burn it down again.
西方强盗，至今本性不该
@@goatwarrior3570 No, we keep it like that as a reminder of our humiliation.
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
@@goatwarrior3570 now? Nah they' ll get nuked.
great video! fun fact: the Forbidden City is the smallest emperor palace in chinese history, but it's the most well preserved.

What’s the biggest?
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.
Well, the palace in Shenyang is much smaller than this one.
Hyumanggis Fatsou DaMing Palance of Tang Dynasty ，Six times as many as the Forbidden City
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.
I wish INDIA &CHINA should have a good relationship...!😍😘
Because both countries are have very old history, tradition and culture in the world..!✌🥰
It's like Yin and Yang.
we respect and interest in India culture 🇨🇳❤️🇮🇳
Yes, but your government and medias will not stop smearing China, look at the WION news, bunch of bias and inflaming information there 😔
@@rightleft4455 true .media is really biased.
fuck the politaions man us citizens just want to live our lives
I been there 3 time I love the history there
My dream is to visit China.
It will be nightmere
Welcome
锁金秋 maybe because people like you exists
We will very welcome
@@zyl5484 This amazing country is huge & requires sufficient money to visit. Near future it may be materialised.
This is one of the greatest buildings in the world, the miracle of human beings, epic existence in the world
Excellent. An awful lot of history went by in that place. Fascinating. I recognised a couple of scenes from one of Kurasawas movies.
+NeonsStyle Thank you! Appreciated as always :) Yeah, quite a key place in the history!
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.
Truly gorgeous!
😊
非常好 Such a stunning place
as a chinese(not from china), my dream is to visit this palace wearing a hanfu.
Just Divine old China ! Thanks for sharing!
+Helga Zimmermann Thank you for watching!
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.
@@xanh111 The world should know the truth. The forbidden city was designed by 5 Chinese architects and over a million Chinese craftsmen.
Excellent video of forbidden City....thanks for sharing
+JAKAPHAN CHAIRAT Glad you enjoyed it:)
Long live Imperial China! The 2,000 year old Empire‘s legacy will outlive time.
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.
@@xanh111 I know you want to say Nguyen An (1381-1453) design it, unfortunately , its wrong, tell you the truth ,in Ming Dynasty , the Forbidden City in Beijing is not the original one (it's actually the 3rd one) , the first Forbidden City was in Nanjing Completed in 1367 by Hongwu Emperor (the 2nd one was Forbidden City of Fengyang,the middle capital , Hongwu Emperor abandon this palace after 6 years of construction 1369-1375)
later during the period of Yongle Emperor , he transfer the capital from Nanjing to Beijing ,so the Yongle Emperor decide to build another palace in Beijing, which is the one we see now ,the Forbidden City in Beijing is actually a copy of Forbidden City in Nanjing(share the same layout but a bit smaller than the one in Nanjing ,720000 m2 vs 1010000 m2), so you want to tell me a person can design a palace before he was not even born?
Secondly , the Beijing Forbidden City began to built in 1406 (planing in 1403), at that time Nguyen An was not even in China , Nguyen An was sent to China as a tribute eunuch around 1407(after Chinese conquest of Vietnam), and at that time he was very young only around 25 years old , he actually learn all techniques from Chinese architect, you can say later after he finished his learning , then he participate construction of rebuilding some gates , buildings and wall in Beijing Forbidden City (during the 6th Emperor of Ming , Zhengtong Emperor ) .
The main architect and engineer of Beijing Forbidden City was Cai Xin 蔡信 later Kuai Xiang 蒯祥( Kuai Xiang's father Kuai Fo 蒯福 was one of the main architect and designer of the Nanjing Forbidden City )

@@xanh111 The world should know the truth. The forbidden city was designed by 5 Chinese architects and over a million Chinese craftsmen. The construction techniques, masonry, carpentry, etc were all done by Chinese people.
i've been to that palace 3 years ago...
wish to visit again,was an amazing experience,, i imagine this place in the night time when it's full moon, im sure will be more fantastic 😍😍😍😘😘😘
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.
The forbidden city is most beautiful When it snows
A wonderful and very interesting place ...The old architecture is impressive ...Thank you Milosh for this amazing video! Have a great weekend! Annemieke
+Annemieke van Leeuwen Many thanks Annemieke! Enjoy wonderful weekend!
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🤩
Good god, it looks spectacular when the skies are clear. Thanks for the video! Here's to the Chinese government for tackling the pollution problem.
+zoji rushi got very lucky that day. Three years earlier on my first visit was very hazy, so the colors and everything looked worse
Excellent video and background music showing many detailed views of the so-called Forbidden City. A must see video.
Much bigger than I thought. Thanks for sharing!
+2minstral Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend!

Actually that is a samaller one among Chinese Palaces. But tge rest of them did not survive from History due to the material they are made of is wood which is easy to burn.
That's why it's called the forbidden CITY
Well, it's the biggest palace in the world.
Visited 5 times...last visit in year 2015, very nice historical place...
Really wonderful place, great China

We call The Forbidden City 紫禁城
It's pretty grand and magnificent to speak the Chinese name out in Mandarin

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.
enjoyed the video very much.Thanks fr India.
Thank you for watching!
Es impresionante la cultura milenaria. Debes leer mucho antes de ir ya que es un viaje largo y difícilmente volverás una segunda vez. Animate a ir, vale la pena, y es super económico. Te encantará, es inmenso.
The same as before, is still an interesting place to visit. A great weekend :)
+M. Julian Enjoy wonderful weekend too :)
Thank you for sharing this beautiful clip of my favorite place on earth. I grow up in Beijing, China and visited "Forbidden City-Gu Gong" many times. I am dance choreographer and now I am very excited to create a dance concert based on The Forbidden City, and would like to share your video to our audiences. Would you please give us a permission to do so and let us know the videographer's name so we can credit you in our program? Many thanks.
+Lorelei Chang Hi Lorelei, glad you enjoed my video! You have my permission to use the video in your performance. You can see the name of the videographer in the first 5 seconds of the video. Good luck with your project!
Thank you very much for giving us permission! I am so excited that many people come to our concert will be able to enjoy this film. A couple of more questions..1. Do you have a higher resolution of this film. We tested in the theater and it looks a little blurry when it projected to a large screen. Look forward to hearing from you. 2. I would like to put some text over two sections to introduce the Forbidden City. Would you give us permission to do that? PS. how would you like to be credit in our program. You can write via our contact page dancenlight.org/contact thank you!
Hi! 1. The resolution should be fine if you downloaded from YT the 4K version, and also your projector is 4K. 2. No problem adding the text.
You can credit either by my name (in the first 5 secs of the video) or the YT link of my channel .../milosh9k

This is the best 4k video I've ever seen.
Amazing videography ! Incredible job. Look like lots of work. !
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
I forgot how big it was. I was there in 1982.
a very spacious and beautiful palace, symbolizing a very powerful kingdom in the era. really great
Oh My God, this is magnificent and unbelievable to see

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.”
Awesome video, thumbs up

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?

i love china ifrom thailand
I could not Imagine that in those days living in that gilded life of a beautiful cage, as a eunuch or wife of the Emperor never to see your family again. Beauty and sacrifice all at the same time, what a price to pay.
I'm Malaysian, hope can I go to these Majestic and Sacred Place like the Nanjing City Wall, The Forbidden City Pejing, Xian Great Mosque, Niu Jie Great Pejing Mosque, and The Prophet Companion, Hu Ai Sheng Ching Sen Si (Mosque of Muhammad Lovers) known As Saad Ibni Abi Waqqas Mosque......
