The Palace Museum Beijing Forbidden City
This summer we visited Beijing and went to see the palace museum Beijing or forbidden city and it was AMAZING!
The Palace Museum Beijing must have so many great stories to tell and you could spend days exploring all the different areas.
You HAVE to buy tickets in advance and online, they only allow 70,000 people in per day and the crowds are BIG so be ready, and be ready to do a LOT of walking!
The forbidden city Beijing is the world's largest collection of well-preserved medieval wooden structures.
Apart from the magnitude of the complex, the detail of the architecture is also astounding, every detail reflects features of traditional Chinese architecture and rich Chinese culture.
From 1420 to 1644, the Forbidden City was the seat of the Ming dynasty. In April 1644, it was captured by rebel forces led by Li Zicheng, who proclaimed himself emperor of the Shun dynasty. He soon fled before the combined armies of former Ming general Wu Sangui and Manchu forces, setting fire to parts of the Forbidden City in the process.
By October, the Manchus had achieved supremacy in northern China, and a ceremony was held at the Forbidden City to proclaim the young Shunzhi Emperor as ruler of all China under the Qing dynasty. The Qing rulers changed the names on some of the principal buildings, to emphasise Harmony rather than Supremacy, made the name plates bilingual (Chinese and Manchu), and introduced Shamanist elements to the palace, and was renamed the palace museum after the cultural revolution.

At the heart of Beijing sits the Palace Museum, a sprawling complex of palaces, historic halls and courtyard gardens, which is to celebrate its 600th birthday next year. Also known as the Forbidden City, the Palace Museum is an immense source of pride for people across the country, particularly in Beijing.

Forbidden City - The Palace Museum
Music by Zhu Runfu : Jade Plum Blossoms
Tour of the Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum (Mukden Palace, China)
Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum / 沈阳故宫博物院 or Mukden Palace / 盛京宫殿 was the former imperial palace of the early Manchu-led Qing dynasty. It was built in 1625 and the first three Qing emperors lived there from 1625 to 1644. Since the collapse of imperial rule in China, the palace has been converted to a museum that now lies in the center of Shenyang.
Early construction began in 1625 by Nurhaci, the founder of the Qing dynasty. By 1631, additional structures were added during the reign of Nurhaci's successor, Hong Taiji.
The Mukden Palace was built to resemble the Forbidden City in Beijing. However, the palace also exhibits hints of Manchu and Tibetan styles.
After the Qing dynasty replaced the Ming dynasty in 1644 in Beijing, the Mukden Palace lost its status as the official residence of the Qing emperor. Instead, the Mukden Palace became a regional palace.
In 1780, the Qianlong Emperor further expanded the palace. Successive Qing emperors usually stayed at Mukden Palace for some time each year.
In 1955, the Mukden Palace was converted into the Shenyang Imperial Palace Museum.
In 2004, it was included on the UNESCO World Heritage List as an extension of the Imperial Palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, or Forbidden City.

FORBIDDEN CITY (PALACE MUSEUM) BEIJING, CHINA
Forbidden City, also known as the Palace Museum, and Gu Gong in Chinese, lies at the city center of Beijing, and once served as the imperial palace for 24 emperors during the Ming and Qing Dynasties (1368 - 1911). It was first built throughout 14 years during the reign of Emperor Chengzu in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Ancient Chinese Astronomers believed that the Purple Star (Polaris) was in the center of heaven and the Heavenly Emperor lived in the Purple Palace. The Palace for the emperor on earth was so called the Purple City. It was forbidden to enter without special permission of the emperor. Hence its name 'The Purple Forbidden City', usually 'The Forbidden City'.
Now known as the Palace Museum, it is to the north of Tiananmen Square. Rectangular in shape, it is the world's largest palace complex and covers 74 hectares. Surrounded by a 52-meter-wide moat and a 10-meter-high wall are more than 8,700 rooms. The wall has a gate on each side. The distance between the south Meridian Gate (Wumen) and the north Gate of Divine Prowess (Shenwumen) is 961 meters (1,051 yards), while the distance between the east and west gates is 753 meters (823 yards). There are unique and delicately structured towers on each of the four corners of the curtain wall. These afford views over both the palace and the city outside.

The Great Wall of China and The Forbidden City | BEIJING
Beijing is home to some of China's most incredible treasures and ancient historical sites. Most famously, The Great Wall of China and The Forbidden City aka Palace Museum. As Kiwi Asians this was something we (and our family) always wanted to see in person in order to connect more with our Chinese roots.
Beijing accommodation is expensive especially when looking for a place that could fit all 6 of us. But after spending a fair bit of time looking for accommodation in Beijing, we ended up renting out an old, traditional Hutong in Beijing, China.
For our first family adventure in Beijing we went to visit the most famous and iconic Chinese landmark, The Great Wall of China.
The Great Wall of China is one of those must-visit and life bucket list items of many people including us so it was incredible to be able to finally visit it during our Beijing, China trip with our parents.
We entered The Great Wall of China from:
Mutianyu Great Wall Scenic Area Ticket Office
Address: Mutianyu Rd, Huairou, Beijing, China
If you're wondering what's the best way to see the Great Wall or what section to visit, Mutianyu (where we went) is supposed to be the less touristy and crowded of the entrances to the Great Wall in Beijing so although it was a bit further to travel we thought it was the better option as crowds in China are next level!
When we reached the The Great Wall of China, we walked from watch tower 6 to watch tower 1. Finally getting to see let alone walk along The Great Wall of China was a special and amazing experience for us. So much Chinese history and what an astounding feat of human engineering. We were fortunate to have clear blue skies in Beijing that day so we could see The Great Wall of China stretch on as far as our eyes could see.
After our time visiting The Great Wall of China we then travelled to the very scenic and beautiful Sacred Path also known as Sacred Way or Sacred Road in Beijing.
The Sacred Path of the Ming Tombs was a very peaceful and beautiful stretch of walkway. It's a great place to visit when in Beijing for its historical and scenic beauty.
The Sacred Path of the Ming Tombs
Ming Shisan Ling Area, Changling Town, Changping District, Beijing 102213, China
Beijing is also famous for Peking duck. We found the place where the delicious Peking duck dish was apparently first invented and ate there for dinner.

The next day we woke up bright and early to visit Tiananmen Square which is very near the Imperial City and Forbidden City (now known as Palace Museum). When visiting Tiananmen Square's be prepared to see a huge amount of tourists there. Also at Tiananmen Square though, we saw various architectural highlights like the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong and the Great Hall of the People as we made our way over to the Imperial City and Forbidden City (Palace Museum).
The Palace Museum / The Forbidden City:
Address: 4 Jingshan Front St, Dongcheng, Beijing, China, 100009
Going inside The Forbidden City is definitely a top thing to do in Beijing. The Forbidden City (Palace Museum) is without a doubt a top attraction and must visit in Beijing. The Forbidden City lies in the centre of the Imperial City in Beijing, China but just remember to look out for signs for the Palace Museum as you actually won't see anything saying Forbidden City.
It was amazing getting to explore this absolutely massive complex. Our whole family had the most incredible time in Beijing. Beijing with its many famous and top attractions is a must visit when in China. Getting to see The Great Wall of China and The Forbidden City with our own eyes was an unforgettable experience and one that we feel blessed to have gotten to share with our parents especially given our Chinese roots.
