The imperial palace

Speaking about the most famous historical building in china, it reminds me about the imperial palace. In 2014, I companied with my parents together to have four-day travel in Beijing. The imperial palace ranked the place we must visit and It also impressed me deeply.

Before visiting the imperial palace, I only knew it by watching the TV or the history story. The imperial palace is also known as the Forbidden city. I heard that in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was a place, where people couldn’t go to the palace casually. Nowadays, we only spend dozens of yuan to look at this great historical building if we want to visit there. About the imperial palace, it took fourteen years to be built from 1406 to 1420. According to the historical record, the building area is about 150,000 square meters, with more than 70 palaces and over 9,000 houses. It is one of the largest preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.

When I stepped into the first brick of the Forbidden city, I found myself small in front of giant. Before I went to the imperial palace, I would have a lot of reverie about it. Entering the forbidden city and seeing the magnificent palaces, all my reverie disappeared. I didn’t know what other people’s feeling was? When I brought my parents to appreciate the great historical building, I couldn’t use any words to express my mind. Besides feeling and excited, I didn’t know what we could do else?!

As we know, the imperial palace experienced many years of ups and downs. Now it still is immovable. We must praise the ancients’ clever design. In my opinion, when we can walk and move, everyone should visit it and open our eyes that feel the atmosphere in the Forbidden city and visit the magnificent old buildings. By experiencing a special travel, our mind must be difference. So, I also look forward to visiting it again one day in the future.
