Forbidden City, China🇨🇳 The World’s Largest Imperial Palace! (4K UHD)
The Forbidden City (紫禁城), located in the heart of Beijing (北京), is a stunning symbol of China’s imperial history and one of the most remarkable architectural wonders in the world. Built between 1406 and 1420, it served as the residence of 24 emperors from the Ming (明) and Qing (清) dynasties, encapsulating centuries of political and cultural legacy.
Spanning over 72 hectares (180 acres), this UNESCO World Heritage Site features nearly 1,000 preserved buildings and over 8,700 rooms, all designed with impeccable symmetry and rich ornamentation. Entering through the Meridian Gate (午门), visitors are greeted by the grandeur of the Hall of Supreme Harmony (太和殿), the tallest structure in the complex and the ceremonial heart of the Forbidden City.
Exploring further, the Palace of Heavenly Purity (乾清宫) offers a glimpse into the daily lives of the imperial family, while the imperial garden (御花园) provides a serene retreat with its ancient trees, rockeries, and pavilions. The Forbidden City’s Palace Museum (故宫博物院) holds over 1.8 million artifacts, from intricate jade carvings to precious calligraphy, showcasing the depth of China’s artistic heritage.
For a breathtaking view, head to Jingshan Park (景山公园) just to the north, where the golden rooftops of the Forbidden City stretch out in stunning symmetry. A visit to this architectural and cultural marvel is an unforgettable journey into the grandeur of China’s imperial past.

ما در ایران ایکاش حاکمان چینی داشتیم 🎉چون منابع فراوان نفت و گاز داریم اما فساد حاکم مردم را فقیر کرده🎉زنده باد چین ثروتمند و روسیه که همراه چین است 🎉 و محور قدرتمند 🎉 شرق را تشکیل دادند ❤❤❤❤
冬天的故宫要下雪去拍摄才美！😂
御花園は昔、婉容や文繡が写真撮ってる所ですね。
Incredible place, it’s hard to understand the scale, enjoyed your visit greatly, thanks for sharing your video 👍
คงสร้างขึ้นได้ยิ่งใหญ่….สมัยโบราณ…โดดเด่น..ตระการตาแก่ผู้ไปเที่ยวชม…แต่คนเยอะไปหน่อย…ทำให้ภาพวิวเด่นๆๆๆ❤❤❤หายไป…ชอบๆๆๆๆ

動力氣功我研成 全身穴脈都打通
八九年來沒生病 修好氣脈即達成
傳統功法用意多 一般複雜多費功
氣力不足無律動 意多受牽是主因
我研氣功簡易精 能將氣血全打通
呼吸我研動呼吸 能吸大量氣入體
甩手腕配離心力 共振促使毒甩去

祝大家 健康！快樂！
