Forbidden City

The Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City, was the imperial seat for over five centuries during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Constructed between 1406 and 1420 in the centre of the axis of Beijing, it is the world’s largest ancient palatial structure. 
The Forbidden City, the center of imperial governance and family life, consists of various structures that were designed for specific functions.

Each structure was built in accordance with the traditional Chinese architectural hierarchy and designed to reflect imperial power and authority.

The Forbidden City is about 12 kilometres away and 20 minutes by car from NUO Hotel Beijing.
