Nowadays, tourism is more and more recognized by everyone. Many friends use tourism to relax, and they will have different gains when they leave their homes. After all, walking into a place and experiencing the culture of this place is the best way to travel and learn. Of course, with the continuous development of China's economy and the improvement of national strength, more and more foreigners are paying attention to Chinese culture and coming to China for sightseeing. As the capital, Beijing is a city where most foreigners come to visit. The Forbidden City in Beijing is also synonymous with China. After all, there were once 24 places where emperors ruled and lived. But today we want to introduce to you one of the most "wronged" Forbidden City in China. It is 300,000 square meters larger than the Forbidden City in Beijing. Nowadays, it is free of charge and few tourists. Where is this?

This is the Nanjing Forbidden City. It was established during the Ming Dynasty, and three emperors, starting from Zhu Yuanzhang, lived here for 54 years. The Nanjing Forbidden City took 26 years to complete. The Nanjing Forbidden City was also larger and more complex than the Beijing Forbidden City. It was actually 300,000 square meters larger than the Beijing Forbidden City. There was already a 600-year-old Nanjing Forbidden City. The Nanjing Forbidden City at that time was very glorious. It is even more gorgeous and magnificent than the buildings of the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Today, the Ming Dynasty Forbidden City has become a ruins. Why do you say this? Many buildings in the Forbidden City in Nanjing can no longer be seen, but stone piers can be seen on many grounds. Careful friends can also see them in the Forbidden City in Beijing. There is a round stone pier foundation under the wooden piles of many halls. Nowadays, only such foundations can be seen in many places in the Forbidden City in Nanjing. The buildings and halls no longer exist. It is a pity that.

At that time, after Zhu Di decided to move the capital to Beijing, the Nanjing Forbidden City was like a fallen concubine. Few people cared about it. As a result, the palace buildings were abandoned, and there was no daily maintenance and protection of the buildings. As a result, the Nanjing Forbidden City began to suffer varying degrees of damage since the capital was moved. After a lapse of 600 years, few complete buildings can be preserved. According to records at the time, during the move of the capital, many glazed tiles and pillars of the Nanjing Forbidden City were also disassembled and transported to Beijing. It can be seen how miserable the Nanjing Forbidden City was at that time.

Today, there are only these ruins left in the Nanjing Forbidden City, which even makes people feel a little pity to see. However, from these ruins, we can still feel how magnificent the Nanjing Forbidden City was at that time. Although future generations are reluctant and sad, they still cannot change the status quo of history, but for Nanjing, this history is also something to be proud of. There are still many scenic spots waiting for everyone to discover in Nanjing. If you have time, you can travel to Nanjing and stop by the Nanjing Forbidden City Site!

I wonder what you think of the Forbidden City, the most "wronged" in China, which is 300,000 square meters larger than the Forbidden City in Beijing, and is now free of charge with few tourists?
