The Palace Museum, known as the Forbidden City, is the     1     (large) and most well     2     (reserve) imperial (皇帝的) residence in China today.

It has a splendid history since the Ming Dynasty, and it     4     (rebuild) and repaired many times in the past. I was so excited to visit it with my family last summer vacation. After we passed     5     the Front Gate, a lot of palaces appeared. The tour guide told us there were almost 8,700 rooms in the Palace Museum. During the Ming Dynasty, construction began in 1406. It took 14 years to build the Forbidden City. Visitors     6     walk among the buildings can feel both the     7     (weigh) of history and a wonderful sense of peace. And I was     8     (real) surprised that the workers could build it so well that even today it is not out of style. I could not remember all the names of the     9     ( building), but I took hundreds of beautiful photos on the way. I think I will never forget the     10     (amaze) trip I had in Beijing, China and I will go there next time with my friends.
