Forbidden City, Beijing, China [Amazing Places 4K] 

really ? then what is the largest one ?

@@redpool1141 There's a trend that the area of Chinese palace inclined to decrease as the dynasty gets later. The largest one was Xianyang Palace, the royal place of Qin dynasty. Its main area was about 5 times larger than the forbidden city, and the rest palaces were scattered around the capital city of Qin which was a 40km diameter circle.

@@allee6261 Whooaaa thats pretty massive. Thank you for the informationn 🙏👍👍

@@allee6261 Xianyang Palace is massive but Weiyang Palace is the way bigger according to wikipedia. If only you want to crosscheck it 🙏

@@redpool1141 Yeah I just checked it and you’re right! Weiyang Palace was the largest palace ever built on Earth, thank you for the correction!

I hope so but we must respect that place

I can't wait! I would love to explore.

It seem to be keep getting smaller, modern President palace is even smaller. I think the main purpose of having a big palace is to protect the Emperor, which is not that effective today. A lot of people protecting the President today find it more effective to have only so much guards station in the palace with guards patrolling nearby streets and army only minutes away.

@Optimus Prime Seriously? You know how much money were spent in preserving it? Just compared with temples in Athen

I guess that is why it's called the forbidden city because some of the areas are forbidden.

@@wanxiangchen2114 The best of the treasures were taken to Taiwan.

@@wanxiangchen2114 No,no,no, Taiwan will be back to China finally, peacefully. Let them keep the treasures for maybe some other decades, Lol.

They should rebuild it just to burn it down again.

西方强盗，至今本性不该

@@goatwarrior3570 No, we keep it like that as a reminder of our humiliation.

No, its because the china gov at that time burned the embassies of many countries so they burn china back, its not solely the action of the other countries

@@goatwarrior3570 now? Nah they' ll get nuked.

+princesse228 Thank you! Yes, many great locations in China, too many for one or two trips :) Hopefully he had the chance to travel around to see more of it :)

India's historic relics are magnificent too, from China.

have been to India once，really friendly country

I love India more than China

China is a slave state prison

I visited india and there are also top class architectural work present like ellora and ajanta caves... mainly kings there used to make big temples rather than forts...

😊

+NeonsStyle Thank you! Appreciated as always :) Yeah, quite a key place in the history!

+JAKAPHAN CHAIRAT Glad you enjoyed it:)

Leonard Dilliwhi because it is the latest

Leonard Dilliwhi What’s the biggest?

No, it's not. The smallest imperial palace probably was from Southern Song(臨安行在) which is already gone. The Forbidden City we see toaday is frist built in Ming dynasty and continue in used until the end of Qing dynasty(500+ years), it's actually one of largest palaces in Chinese history.

Well, the palace in Shenyang is much smaller than this one.

Hyumanggis Fatsou DaMing Palance of Tang Dynasty ，Six times as many as the Forbidden City

Nice to hear you enjoyed it :) Cheers:)

It's like Yin and Yang.

we respect and interest in India culture 🇨🇳❤️🇮🇳

Yes, but your government and medias will not stop smearing China, look at the WION news, bunch of bias and inflaming information there 😔

@@rightleft4455 true .media is really biased.

fuck the politaions man us citizens just want to live our lives

The world should know the truth. This project was designed by Vietnamese people. and the construction techniques of transporting large stones are all done by the Vietnamese.

​@@xanh111 The world should know the truth. The forbidden city was designed by 5 Chinese architects and over a million Chinese craftsmen.

Yes. In cultural revolution those damn red guards intended to destroy the forbidden city. That period of time was a nightmare and disaster in China. Lucky that the forbidden city is preserved well. But a lot of other historic sites and treasures were destroyed at that time.

+M. Julian Enjoy wonderful weekend too :)

Merci beaucoup :) Glad to hear from you!

Thank you for watching!

+Travels With Phillip Thank you :) Will take a look at your work, hopefully in three weeks when I come back from my current trip :)

@@xanh111 I know you want to say Nguyen An (1381-1453) design it, unfortunately , its wrong, tell you the truth ,in Ming Dynasty , the Forbidden City in Beijing is not the original one (it's actually the 3rd one) , the first Forbidden City was in Nanjing Completed in 1367 by Hongwu Emperor (the 2nd one was Forbidden City of Fengyang,the middle capital , Hongwu Emperor abandon this palace after 6 years of construction 1369-1375) later during the period of Yongle Emperor , he transfer the capital from Nanjing to Beijing ,so the Yongle Emperor decide to build another palace in Beijing, which is the one we see now ,the Forbidden City in Beijing is actually a copy of Forbidden City in Nanjing(share the same layout but a bit smaller than the one in Nanjing ,720000 m2 vs 1010000 m2), so you want to tell me a person can design a palace before he was not even born? Secondly , the Beijing Forbidden City began to built in 1406 (planing in 1403), at that time Nguyen An was not even in China , Nguyen An was sent to China as a tribute eunuch around 1407(after Chinese conquest of Vietnam), and at that time he was very young only around 25 years old , he actually learn all techniques from Chinese architect, you can say later after he finished his learning , then he participate construction of rebuilding some gates , buildings and wall in Beijing Forbidden City (during the 6th Emperor of Ming , Zhengtong Emperor ) . The main architect and engineer of Beijing Forbidden City was Cai Xin 蔡信 later Kuai Xiang 蒯祥( Kuai Xiang's father Kuai Fo 蒯福 was one of the main architect and designer of the Nanjing Forbidden City ) .

+Ki-Sha Daimyo Thank you, I really did this place second time so I was not planning to take video again but the day was so unusually clear fro Beijing, and given the temptation of 4K quality, I began filming :)

+Amazing Places on our Planet Welcome Milosh,that was a good temptation...oh yes. Do you like winter ? Alaska with Malamute ride on a sled..that will be fun.

+2minstral Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend!

2minstral Actually that is a samaller one among Chinese Palaces. But tge rest of them did not survive from History due to the material they are made of is wood which is easy to burn.

That's why it's called the forbidden CITY

Well, it's the biggest palace in the world.

+Lorelei Chang Hi Lorelei, glad you enjoed my video! You have my permission to use the video in your performance. You can see the name of the videographer in the first 5 seconds of the video. Good luck with your project!

Thank you very much for giving us permission! I am so excited that many people come to our concert will be able to enjoy this film. A couple of more questions..1. Do you have a higher resolution of this film. We tested in the theater and it looks a little blurry when it projected to a large screen. Look forward to hearing from you. 2. I would like to put some text over two sections to introduce the Forbidden City. Would you give us permission to do that? PS. how would you like to be credit in our program. You can write via our contact page dancenlight.org/contact thank you!

Hi! 1. The resolution should be fine if you downloaded from YT the 4K version, and also your projector is 4K. 2. No problem adding the text. You can credit either by my name (in the first 5 secs of the video) or the YT link of my channel .../milosh9k

Great! Thank you so much!!

+Top 5 Glad to hear that, thank you!

Amazing Places on our Planet Great job you guys! :) please do new zealand Or if you're in asia, make videos of South korea or north india.

There are several videos of New Zealand and Northern India in the channel, but they are done two cameras earlier than the current 4K, so the quality cannot compare

+Mamie Solange Merci Solange :)

Wow...how was there? Is it same like chinese drama?

papa zola I dont think there is a “chinese drama”. It’s a paradoxal country - one country two systems. Beijing is a beautiful city, clean, etc. They have a stunning infrastructure ( metro, highways like in USA, etc) People are friendly, very curious about foreigners. There is law and order even if the country is a communist dictatorship.

@@MosNeagu1975 ouh...i mean forbidden city.have you been there?

papa zola yes. Very beautiful, full of history, many chinese tourists. If you wanna see more, check out my channel

hi from China😊😊😊

+tawan aumphansang Thank you !

Actually the Ming Dynasty built the Forbidden City

The Forbidden City was the imperial palace of the Ming dynasty, and the qing dynasty was just a successor
