The Forbidden City, also known as the Ancient Palace, was the residence of dozens of emperors of two dynasties, the Ming and Qing dynasties. Its construction location is located in the center of the capital Beijing, symbolizing the supremacy of the country.
This work converges the quintessence of ancient Chinese architectural art, mainly consisting of three palace clusters, with a total area of 720,000 square meters. It is rumored that there are a total of 9,999 rooms here. The buildings of the Forbidden City are essentially wooden structures, which have survived countless natural disasters, fires, and wars.

Thai Hoa Palace is the tallest building in the Forbidden City. It is often called the “Golden Palace”, and is the largest palace in ancient China.
Although the Thai Hoa Palace is generally open to tourists, not all of the places inside are accessible. Some are due to their long age and deterioration, so people must be limited to visit to avoid damage.
About the history of birth, formerly the center of China was located in Nanjing. The kings at that time built a massive palace to serve as a place for the main table and at the same time to live. Later, when Minh Thanh To ascended the throne, he simulated the Forbidden City in present-day Beijing.
Construction began around 1406, and it took 14 years to complete the original construction. Later emperors repaired and expanded on the original base. Overall, the relic is square in shape, protected by a 10 meter high outer wall, surrounded by a 52 meter wide river.

Due to the majestic construction complex, the Forbidden City is known as one of the five great palaces in the world. The most important palace in the Forbidden City is Thai Hoa Palace, located in the center of the city.
There are statues of 10 spirit beasts entrenched on the ten arch corners of Thai Hoa Palace. This symbolizes that this place is protected.
