Red walls turn Q-style cute! Overlook the palace from space like opening a pop-up comic~
Hello! Today we visit the Beijing Forbidden City, sitting right on the central axis of Beijing. It was the grand palace where Ming and Qing emperors lived and worked, and is now the Palace Museum. From a satellite it looks square and symmetric, like a “hui-shaped seal” stamped on the ground, with golden roofs stretching far. With an anime touch it feels like a building-block kingdom. Newcomers or old fans alike will find this space view fresh and friendly.
Covering about 720,000 square meters, it holds over 70 palaces and more than 8,700 rooms, called a “sea of halls” — the world's largest and best-preserved wooden palace complex. The style is full of meaning: red walls, yellow glazed tiles, white marble terraces, bracket sets and flying eaves. Yellow shows royalty, red brings joy, and layered roofs open like wings. Along the axis stand Meridian Gate, Gate of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Central Harmony, Hall of Preserving Harmony, Gate of Heavenly Purity, Palace of Heavenly Purity, Hall of Union, Palace of Earthly Tranquility, and the Imperial Garden — front for ceremonies, rear for living. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is the biggest; the rear palaces keep daily-life stories; corner towers and the Nine-Dragon Wall are star photo spots. With an anime filter, tiles turn candy-colored, roof beasts queue up cutely, and the city flies out of a comic like a castle in the sky.
