Forbidden City From Above - The Largest Palace in the World

Constructed in 1420, during the Ming Dynasty, the Forbidden City is China's best-preserved imperial palace and the largest in the world. The complex has 9,999 rooms (the number 9 represents longevity) while the 10,000th room is reserved for the heavens. At the centre of it all is the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where the Dragon Throne of Chinese emperors is located.

As one of the five most important palaces in the world, the grand halls and walls proudly display the essence and culmination of traditional Chinese architecture, fitting for the capital city of the world’s largest nation.

With the continuous growth of society, the Forbidden Palace is much smaller than it used to be.

Eu estive na França em 1995 e visitei alguns Castelos fui tambem na Alemanha e visitei alguns Palacios. Não tive oportunidade de visitar a China mas ja vi que existem lugares muito ricos em cultura para serem visitados como onde estão as estatuas de argila de soldados e tambem lugares onde viviam lideres supremos como Imperadores.Como tambem essa cidade e esse Palacio!

Hey, I love your video! I am currently creating a 1-min parody video about the Forbidden City for a social contribution project. Would it be possible if I use some of your scenes for my video? Thank you so much!
