Day 5: China: The Forbidden City








The other day, we traveled to the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing, China, and it now houses the Palace Museum. For almost five hundred years, it served as the home of emperor’s and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government. I mean what else can I say: it is the perfect place for peace. It was built in the early 1400’s and is filled with history.
