旅游故宫作文【通用3篇】

Lying at the center of Beijing, the Forbidden City, called Gu Gong, in Chinese, was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now known as the Palace Museum, it is to the north of Tiananmen Square. Rectangular in shape, it is the worlds largest palace complex and covers 74 hectares. Surrounded by a six meter deep moat and a ten meter high wall are 9,999 buildings. The wall has a gate on each side. Opposite the Tiananmen Gate, to the north is the Gate of Devine Might (Shenwumen), which faces Jingshan Park. The distance between these two gates is 960 meters, while the distance between the gates in the east and west walls is 750 meters. There are unique and delicately structured towers on each of the four corners of the curtain wall. These afford views over both the palace and the city outside. The Forbidden City is divided into two parts. The southern section, or the Outer Court was where the emperor exercised his supreme power over the nation. The northern section, or the Inner Court was where he lived with his royal family. Until 1924 when the last emperor of China was driven from the Inner Court, fourteen emperors of the Ming dynasty and ten emperors of the Qing dynasty had reigned here. Having been the imperial palace for some five centuries, it houses numerous rare treasures and curiosities. Listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural Heritage Site in 1987, the Palace Museum is now one of the most popular tourist attractions world wide.

Construction of the palace complex began in 1407, the 5th year of the Yongle reign of the third emperor of the Ming dynasty. It was completed fourteen years later in 1420. It was said that a million workers including one hundred thousand artisans were driven into the long-term hard labor. Stone needed was quarried from Fangshan, a suburb of Beijing. It was said a well was dug every fifty meters along the road in order to pour water onto the road in winter to slide huge stones on ice into the city. Huge amounts of timber and other materials were freighted from faraway provinces. Ancient Chinese people displayed their very considerable skills in building the Forbidden City. Take the grand red city wall for example. It has an 8.6 meters wide base reducing to 6.66 meters wide at the top. The angular shape of the wall totally frustrates attempts to climb it. The bricks were made from white lime and glutinous rice while the cement is made from glutinous rice and egg whites. These incredible materials make the wall extraordinarily strong.

Since yellow is the symbol of the royal family, it is the dominant color in the Forbidden City. Roofs are built with yellow glazed tiles; decorations in the palace are painted yellow; even the bricks on the ground are made yellow by a special process. However, there is one exception. Wenyuange, the royal library, has a black roof. The reason is that it was believed black represented water then and could extinguish fire.

Nowadays, the Forbidden City, or the Palace Museum is open to tourists from home and abroad. Splendid painted decoration on these royal architectural wonders, the grand and deluxe halls, with their surprisingly magnificent treasures will certainly satisfy "modern civilians".

今天我们来到了天安门广场，看见天安门城门是那么的宏伟壮观，庄严的人们英雄纪念碑高高地矗立在广场中间，我看见毛爷爷的画像是那么的慈祥和蔼。我们在那拍了许多照片留作纪念。过天安门城楼就是故宫了，经过了端门、午门，又参观了皇上办公的几个宫殿。例如，太和殿，乾清宫，保和殿。每一个宫殿都富丽堂皇、金碧辉煌，每一个宫殿前的台阶上都雕刻着不同花纹的图案，有龙、有鳯、有花、有鸟。我看到每一个屋顶都有黄色的琉璃瓦，因为它防水防火又防腐。每个宫殿都雄伟壮丽气势磅礴，每个建筑上都有龙的图案。

我觉得古代工匠真的太有智慧了！看着屋檐上华丽的装饰，我不得不佩服他们的聪明才智和高超技艺。我们参观完皇帝的宫殿后又来到御花园。那奇特的树木和山石都令我惊讶。

故宫真是太大了，游一天也游不完，里面那么多的奇珍异宝，看的我眼花缭乱，真是一座神奇的宫殿！

北京天安门是我非常向往去的一个地方，第二天一大早，我们便乘坐地铁来到这里，出了地铁口首先映入眼里的便是北京天安门城楼，它的上面正中央悬挂着我国的国徽，下面是毛主席的画像，两边挂着中华人民共和国万岁，世界人民大团结万岁的条幅。虽然曾在电视和书中看到过很多次，可今天身临其境的站在这里，它的辉宏气势还是让我震憾了。我不知用什么语言来形容我此时的心情。

天安门是紫禁城的正门，一对威武的汉白玉石狮把守着皇宫大门，几百年前这里是明清两代皇帝办公和生活的地方。走过金水桥，穿过太和门，看着厚厚的城门，游览着皇帝们曾经生活居住的地方，看着这么金碧辉煌的宫殿，让我惊叹我国古代人民的智慧，是谁建造了这么美的皇宫，它吸引了全世界人民的眼球，我看到许多外国人一边看一边拍照，他们也被这壮观宫殿所吸引。

这时我感觉做为一个中国人的自豪感由然而生。中华民族是了不起的民族。我为是一名中国人而骄傲。
