Introduction of scenic spots:
The Forbidden City in Beijing is one of the largest and best-preserved ancient wooden buildings in the world, and it is called the five largest palaces in the world together with Versailles in France, Buckingham Palace in Britain, the White House in the United States and the Kremlin in Russia. The Forbidden City, formerly known as the Forbidden City, was built in the fourth year of Judy Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1406) and completed in 14. It is the palace of 24 emperors in China in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is also the essence of ancient Chinese palace architecture in China, an unparalleled architectural masterpiece.
The whole building is resplendent and magnificent, with a wooden structure, a yellow glazed tile roof and a blue-and-white stone base, decorated with resplendent and colorful paintings. Miyagi is surrounded by a palace wall with a height of 12 m and a length of 3400 m, which is rectangular and surrounded by a moat with a width of 52 m, forming a fortified castle. The three main halls in the palace, namely Taihe, Zhonghe and Baohe, are arranged along the north-south central axis and extend to both sides. North and south are symmetrical. This central axis runs through the Forbidden City, Yongdingmen in the south, Drum Tower and Bell Tower in the north, and runs through the whole city. It is magnificent, carefully planned and extremely spectacular.

Travel guide:
1. The Forbidden City is very big, with more than 9,000 palaces. It is almost impossible to visit all the places in one day. Generally, tourists only visit the three main halls, the last three palaces and the imperial garden, which can be visited in half a day from south to north. Visitors who have more time can go around the palaces on the east and west roads and watch the rare treasures on display more carefully.
All tourists can only enter through the "noon gate" near Tiananmen Square, and other doors can only be closed.
3. In the exhibition halls such as Treasure Hall, Watch Hall, Painting and Calligraphy Hall, volunteers provide free explanations in Chinese and English.
