Gugong Palace Museum Beijing

The Gugong Palace Museum is located in the heart of Beijing. This huge imperial palace, which, incidentally, is the largest palace in the world, was built in the early XV century. On all sides it is surrounded by a high city wall, and around the wall is dug a wide moat filled with water. In ancient times, Gugun was called the Forbidden City. For many centuries, the palace served as the residence of many royal dynasties.

Today, a museum is located on the vast territory of the palace. There is a colossal collection of bronze and jade products, ancient ceramics, paintings, clocks and other artistic relics of China. Luxury palace halls and pavilions are also of great historical value. The palace-museum was built in the best traditions of Chinese architecture. The palace itself is perfectly preserved and delights millions of tourists and residents of the state with its pristine grandeur.
