The Forbidden City – The Enchanted City in the Heart of Beijing

Just stepping through the "Wumen" gate is like stepping back in time to the imperial era! 😍 This is the Forbidden City (or "Gu Gong" in Chinese), one of the most magnificent and historically significant places in the world!

Built over 600 years ago during the Ming Dynasty 🏮, it was the residence of 24 emperors! Its interior contains over 9,000 rooms 😱. Every corner is filled with symbolic details, such as the golden roof, symbolizing the imperial power, and the bronze lions that guard the palace from evil. 🦁

October and November are the best time to visit 🍂, as the air is cool and the leaves around the walls begin to change color. The view is both classic and warm, making you want to take photos from every angle. 📸

For those fascinated by ancient Chinese history and architecture, this is a must-see. 👀✨
