Direct link to AJ Kao's post “Yuanmingyuan was still qu...” Yuanmingyuan was still quite expansive and grand -- I can't speak to precise dimensions, but you can still visit the ruins of it today, and they're huge. Overall it was pretty prestigious and walled-off, but the Forbidden City was still the main palace. One interesting aspect to Yuanmingyuan is that it had a Western-style pavilion/area, which was constructed during the early Qing Dynasty. There's no Western flavors to the Forbidden City as far as I know, so that's a distinction. (4 votes) Brandon 4 years agoPosted 4 years ago.
