GREAT WALL
The construction of the Great Wall started during the Warring States Period on 7th century B.C, it had a history of more than 2,500 years. Many dukedoms built walls in Central china to protect themselves and their northern territories. When Qinshihuang, the first emperor in Chinese history, unified China and established the first centralized feudal state in China, he decided to have the walls linked up and extended.
FORBIDDEN CITY
The Forbidden City was the imperial palaces of the Ming and Qing dynasties, known as the Palace Museum. The construction took 14 years and finished in 1420. In the following years, the capital of Ming Dynasty was moved from Nanjing to Beijing. Twenty-four emperors, 14 in the Ming and 10 in the Qing Dynasties ruled from here. The last dynasty fell in 1911, but Emperor Puyi still lived in the Inner court until 1924, when he was thrown out of the palace by the troops of General Feng Yuxiang. After that, the palace was opened to the public as the Palace Museum and it was no longer forbidden to the common people.
