A trip to the Palace Museum I have to say Beijing is a historic city, There are so many scenic spots you can visit, some of them are beautiful landscapes, some of them can help you learn more about Chinese culture or history. I have been worked in Beijing for 2 years, but I have never paid a visit to the Palace Museum before, since being tied up with work. A few days ago, I visited the Palace Museum also called the Forbidden City with my friends. When I arrived the Palace Museum, I was shocked, tons of people waited in line for the safety inspection, after that you can walk around Tian'anmen Square for free. Then I entered the Palace Museum with ticket, the Palace Museum contains wooden structures, statues and cultural relics, it's so splendid. I walked around the Palace Musuem and took many pictures, it's a fantastic trip. I will recommand you guys to visit the Palace Museum if you guys love travel. Have a nice day. I think it's a good description of the Palace Museum from Wikipedia as below The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming dynasty to the end of the Qing dynasty—the years 1420 to 1912. It is located in the centre of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. It served as the home of emperors and their households as well as the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government for almost 500 years.
