  1. Extraordinary. Wonderful that so much has survived in tact, when China appears, from the outside, to have had such a turbulent past. Thank you.

  2. 可能比日本的皇宮大得多,隨著民族業力的淨化,環境和空氣會越來越好。但是要守戒律啊,這個是一切福氣的根本。

  3. Спасибо, друг, за познавательную и интересную экскурсию. Теперь имею представление об этой исторической достопримечательности. Лайк.

  4. Danke fürs teilen🙏, ich bewundere die Architektur und das Design, die Kunst der Handwerker. Danke an alle Menschen die es geschaffen haben💗

  6. The virtual journey takes viewers on a journey through the world's largest palace built by the Ming dynasty, a great masterpiece of the Chinese nation. A manifestation of the supremacy of wealth and riches of the past.

  7. 拍得真好,真實呈現當下的一景一物,字幕說明(無旁白)絲毫不喧賓奪主。雖有人聲喧嘩,但是自己走一遍,不正是如此所見所聞? 感謝您帶著我們走訪故宮,讓我們看得輕鬆又真切。另外,運鏡平穩、重點文物聚焦清晰,也是您的強項,真棒!
