Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places , the Forbidden City in Beijing,China.It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties in China , the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
The Forbidden city was built in 1420. The palace has over 10,000 rooms . It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.
In Mandarin. The Forbidden city is called the Purple Forbidden City . However , the colour of the palace itself is not purole. The colour purple stands for power of the great emperors of China . It was so sacred that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in.
The emperors also had some of the laraest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City . During Chinese New Year , the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes . It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner ' s family for three generations.
Right now the Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world . Everyone can go in there . It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques and treasures in it.
I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to the Forbidden City . It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see .
去年夏天，我去了世界上最著名的历史名胜之一，中国北京的紫禁城。它是中国最后两个朝代，即明朝清朝两代皇帝的故居。
紫禁城建于1420年，宫殿有10000多间房间，这是皇帝与大臣们处理公务的地方。
在普通话中，禁城被称为紫禁城。然而，宫殿本身的颜色不是紫色的。紫色代表中国伟大皇帝的权力，它是如此的神圣，以至于平民们甚至做梦都进不去。
皇帝也在紫禁城举行一些盛大的节日庆典活动。在中国新年期间，皇帝会邀请所有的家庭成员和他的官员共赴宴会。宴会上共有108道中国菜，这道菜如此之贵，以至于一个平民家庭可以吃上三代。
现在，紫禁城为世界各地游客作为历史名胜而出名。每个人都可以进去，这是一个里面珍藏着无价的中国古董和珍宝的博物馆。
从这次紫禁城之旅中，我真的学到了很多关于中国文化及其历史。通过旅行，看到了我一直想看的东西，就像实现了梦想一样。
