China: The Forbidden City

I was recently in China, where I went to give a talk at an important conference. I've also decided to take some time off and plan a beautiful trip with my family, where we visited a lot of different touristic locations, etc.

One of the places we've been to was the "Forbidden City".

"The Forbidden City, situated in the very heart of Beijing, was home to 24 emperors of the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911) Dynasties.

The construction of the grand palace started in the fourth year of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty (1406), and ended in 1420.

In ancient times, the emperor was said to be a son of Heaven, and therefore Heaven's supreme power was bestowed upon him. The emperors' residence on earth was built as a replica of the Purple Palace where God was thought to live in Heaven."

This trip was very impressive and interesting because it made me realize how cultures can be so different and how this enormous city, home of an entire dynasty, was born.
