Wow, I can’t wait to go ahead and see the brand new mansion here in China. At least everyone gets a chance to feed the whole entire museum and plug the area where you get a chance to see it in a few minutes you will get a chance to see our entire area thank you for sharing this whole entire video with the museum AK😎👍!!

Amazing place ActionKid. I love historical buildings. I'm glad that they're taking precautions to preserve it. The West could take lessons from that. Many of our historical buildings have been lost to development in the US and Europe.

Once again, Ken, you’ve captured more than just a scene — you’ve told a visual story. Through the great Tiananmen Gate, you take us into the soul of China’s past: the majestic Forbidden City.

To witness the Meridian Gate unfold into the vast courtyards and golden roofs of the Imperial Palace is to walk through centuries of history. This was once the heart of an empire — a place of silence, ceremony, and power.

As the ancient saying goes, “天下為公” — “All under heaven belongs to the people.”

Your lens doesn’t just document places, it revives the spirit of what once was. Thank you, Ken, for taking us there — and for reminding us of the stories that still live within these walls.

Thanks AK. The only negative detail is how chewed up the ground is in the Forbidden City. It's the wear and tear of being popular

It seems they blocked off quite a lot of areas and in old tours like 20yrs ago they let people see more of the interiors. Maybe now the number of visitors are too big they have to restrict people getting too close with all the fences and protective stairs.I think they encourage us to watch more movies that way we can see more of the interiors. Nevertheless spectacular sights and emotions just to think you rubbed elbow with the past couple hundred years ago. Thanks for a great tour!

This walk reminds me to the Chinese historical dramas that I've watched in the past, and the phrase "皇上驾到! 萬歲, 萬歲, 萬萬歲!" popped up in my mind seeing the imperial palace and the ornate steps. 😁 紫禁城 is rich in history with incredible architecture and landscapes. 😍I felt like I was there watching through your video, and thank you for sharing this experience, AK! 🤗
