Best China Tour of the Imperial Palace in Beijing

Under the Tiananmen through side doors, they came to the museum's main entrance - the Meridian Gate. A lot of attention to the Meridian Gate, which is walled on three sides by the square into a square, facing three Portal, both sides each with a Portal. Which only the emperor was in the middle of the door where you can walk normally, Queen wedding day can go in once, then there is the successful candidates sitting the champion, second place, third overall of the three can go again. Left and right door is the text of Wutai Chen and clan kings out of the door. And other civil and military officials can only take two side doors. From the Meridian Gate of the front are three doors, five doors from the rear is, so there are "dark out three five" is said.

Front door in the afternoon I rented an electronic tour guide machine, it can help you tour the Forbidden City, walking and speaking. The door into the afternoon, they really into the Forbidden City, the first to cross in Gold River, in front of an open square, the center has a palace-style door. All the doors in the Forbidden City is actually a palace-style building, the door called the Gate of Supreme Harmony, the door is squatting on both sides of a pair of bronze lions, the lion of lions known as Chinese first, imposing directions.

Through the Gate of Supreme Harmony, and to see a larger square, in front of a larger palace, is the highest position of the palace of the Forbidden City - Hall of Supreme Harmony, commonly known as the "throne room" is rising toward the place where Emperor. Really magnificent Hall of Supreme Harmony, Forbidden City where the biggest number is nine, while the Hall of Supreme Harmony Hall has ten animals on the eaves, we can see the position of Hall of Supreme Harmony has spent nine this figure can not be represented. Hall of Supreme Harmony was built in three white marble stone steps, and was the tallest building in Beijing. Base of white marble in the temple's stone steps carved 1142 leader, leading through the mouth on the ground, every time it rains, water will flow through this 1142 leading on the ground, so there will be some "Qianlong spit water" which a spectacle.

Hall of Supreme Harmony Hall of Central Harmony is back and Preserving Harmony, which constitute the three main hall of the former Palace of the Forbidden City. Later is the temple, is worth mentioning here: when the Qing Dynasty Imperial Palace has a sign on each house at least two kinds of Chinese characters, and now from the Meridian Gate to the Hall of Preserving Harmony all the brands but only the Chinese language, why ? Because it was 83 days when the Emperor Yuan ordered the former Palace of the full text of all pull out, which is clear evidence of Yuan usurp state power.
