Why The Forbidden City in Beijing, China, called "forbidden" ? Because access to the complex was strictly restricted during its time as the imperial palace. -The Forbidden City was the imperial palace for 24 emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1420–1912). It served as the political and ceremonial center of the Chinese government and was off-limits to ordinary people. Only the emperor, his family, officials, and servants were allowed entry, making it a "forbidden" place for the general public. -The name reflects the emperor's supreme authority and the sacred nature of the palace. It was considered the center of the world and the earthly counterpart to the celestial realm, emphasizing the emperor's divine right to rule. -The Forbidden City was surrounded by high walls and a moat, further isolating it from the outside world. Its layout and design were meant to convey power, mystery, and exclusivity. The Chinese name for the Forbidden City, 紫禁城 (Zǐjìnchéng), translates to "Purple Forbidden City." The "purple" refers to the North Star (Polaris), which in Chinese cosmology was considered the celestial home of the emperor, symbolizing his central and unchanging role in the universe. The term "forbidden" underscores the restricted nature of the site, reserved solely for the imperial court. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and open to the public as the Palace Museum. 3 places inside the Forbidden City need tickets to access ; -General Ticket Admission 40 yuan for low season, 60 yuan for high season. -the Treasure Gallery 10 yuan -the Gallery of Clocks 10 yuan For foreigners, book using your passport number. No ticket has been issued, bring your passport for entry. There are four types of tickets for all nationalities: standard ticket/ Senior Citizen (60yo and older) / Student Ticket (7-17), Children (6 and below is Free, but you still need to register) Have a pleasant experience in the Forbidden City! . #china #beijing #forbiddencity #imperialpalace #travel #thingstodo #myitinerary #

Let's walk together to great The Kyoto Imperial Palace (京都御所, Kyōto Gosho). it was a rainy day but the views were incredible The Kyoto Imperial Palace (京都御所, Kyōto Gosho) used to be the residence of Japan's Imperial Family until 1868, when the emperor and capital were moved from Kyoto to Tokyo. It is located in the spacious Kyoto Imperial Park (京都御苑, Kyōto Gyoen), an attractive park in the center of the city that also encompasses the Sento Imperial Palace, which served retired emperors, and a few other attractions. The current Imperial Palace was reconstructed in 1855 after it had burnt down and moved around town repeatedly over the centuries. The complex is enclosed by long walls and consists of several gates, halls and gardens. The enthronement ceremonies of Emperors Taisho and Showa were still held in the palace's main hall. Tokyo Imperial Palace is now used for enthronement ceremonies. Formerly only accessible on guided tours that required advance reservations, the palace grounds can now be entered and explored without joining a tour and without any prior arrangements (although tours in English are still available). Visitors can see the palace buildings and gardens, but note that none of the buildings can be entered. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 #tokyo #tokyotravel #imperialpalace #japan

Stepping into the Tokyo Imperial Palace East Gardens is like entering a serene oasis amidst the bustling cityscape of Tokyo. The vast expanse of greenery, dotted with historical buildings, offers a tranquil escape from the urban jungle. The gardens are a blend of nature and history, with meticulously maintained landscapes and ancient structures that transport you to a bygone era. The koi ponds add a touch of serenity, their vibrant colors contrasting beautifully with the lush surroundings. Walking through the gardens was a bit challenging in the heat of September, but the beauty of the place made it worth every step. The ruins of Edo Castle in these gardens are known for Japan’s largest Tenshudai Base, Fujimi Yagura (tower mainly built in the corners of the castle for observation and defense), and stone walls. The exposition features models of iconic buildings like the Edo Castle's keep, providing a glimpse into Japan's rich architectural heritage. What makes this place truly unique is its location—right in the heart of Tokyo, surrounded by towering skyscrapers. It's a historic landmark nestled amidst modernity, a perfect mix of old and new. The contrast is striking and adds to the overall charm of the gardens. If you're in Tokyo, don't miss out on this gem. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the city's rich history and natural beauty. 🍃🏯 #Tokyo #ImperialPalace #historicallandmarks #japan

This palace, which dates back to the 14th century, was opened to public visits in 1968. It contains many gardens and castle ruins.

Great coffee and apple strudel is good here. Visited #Hofburgpalace #schonbrunnpalace #imperialpalace #volksgarten #Burggarten #Jimmy’s apartement

Japan, Kyoto Imperial Palace Garden The palace was the residence of the Japanese emperors for over 500 years until 1869 when the capital moved to Tokyo. There is no need for a guide since there s#kyoto is a very informative brochure given out in several languages. No one can enter any of the buildings. The gardens would be stunning in the spring with the cherry blossoms but were beautiful with the unique. Highly disappointing, as you get to see no part of the interior of the Palace, and there are many nicer buildings and gardens in Kyoto compared to this. Took the free English tour which was crowded (50+), and whilst the guide did his utmost to make it sound interesting, we found it a massive let-down. If you’re looking at going, suggest you choose the Nijo Castle in Kyoto which is unbelievable and you can see the history of a 400 year old building as opposed to a “reconstructed” Palace.#kyoto #Nijo #imperialpalace

However, guided tours of the inner palace grounds are available by reservation, providing a deeper insight into the imperial family's residence and the surrounding gardens. 🌸 Walking around the vast grounds, I was captivated by the beautiful gardens, tranquil ponds, and majestic architecture. Nearby attractions include the scenic East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, which are open to the public and offer panoramic views of the city skyline. After exploring the palace, be sure to stroll through the nearby neighborhoods of Marunouchi and Ginza for shopping and dining experiences. Don't miss the chance to immerse yourself in Japan's imperial history and natural beauty! #ImperialPalace #Tokyo #Japan #History #Culture 🇯🇵🏰🌿
