Chloe Bong's Life ☂

紫禁城（Forbidden City）是中国明、

清两代24个皇帝的皇宫。

明朝第三位皇帝朱棣在夺取帝位后，决定迁都北京，

即开始营造紫禁城宫殿，至明永乐十八年（1420年）落 成。

依照中国古代星象学说，

紫微垣（即北极星）位于中天，乃天帝所居，天人对应，

是以皇帝的居所又称紫禁城。

紫禁城城南北长961m，东西宽753m，

占地面积达720,000㎡。有房屋980座，共计8704间。

四面环有高10m的城墙和宽52m的护城河。

We ( Company ) went to Forbidden City, in Beijing.

This are the photos that taken by me for memory.

It is great design for the building and full of Chinese cultural 

for China. Really proud of it.

We walked from front to the back, it was used about 2-3 hours I guess.

What a big big building, I really can't imagine how do the

peoples built it without any high tech builder machines.
