The huge impressive #forbiddencity palace, officially the #palacemuseum. Like everything in #Beijing it was grand, massive, designed to impress you with its sheer scale. Or rather everything else in Beijing is designed taking a leaf out of the opulent Ming and Qing emperors. I mean, there are more than 8000 rooms in the palace! Just skirting it took me more than an hour so I skipped going past the #meridiangate and into the actual palace because I was pressed for time. But standing before this #majestic structure was an experience in itself. PS: It was called the Forbidden City because the common people were forbidden to come near it. Guess who's having the last laugh now, hunh emperors. #beijinglayover #beijingattractions #china #middlekingdom #culture #oneworld #architecture #chinesearchitecture #मैंठहरायायावर (at Forbidden City, Beijing) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqmOFZNhLhs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1t4m8wa5dnaxp
