The Yanxi Palace in the Forbidden City is actually an unfinished building now. The very important reason is that when the Yanxi Palace was built, the Wanwei Building in the Yanxi Palace was built in the middle, and the Qing Dynasty perished, so it was not built again, so the Yanxi Palace became an unfinished building. We all know that a popular TV series is called Story of Yanxi Palace, so Yanxi Palace has also come into people's sight, but people who have been to the Forbidden City should be disappointed. Yanxi Palace is not as luxurious as the TV series said.
In other words, the Yanxi Palace we see now is actually in ruins. In fact, there is a big reason for this. In fact, there was a fire in Yanxi Palace. Because of this fire, there was basically nothing left in Yanxi Palace. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor began to prepare for the construction of Yanxi Palace. At that time, western buildings had entered China, so he wanted to build a western building in Yanxi Palace.
This western building is called Crystal Palace in Yanxi Palace, which means that the Crystal Palace should be a very beautiful western building, but in the middle of the project, the Qing Dynasty was already extinct, so the project was not built at all. Finally, Yanxi Palace is like an unfinished building as we see now. In fact, many concubines lived in Yanxi Palace in the Qing Dynasty. We can see from the TV series that Yanxi Palace was actually a luxurious palace in ancient times. I think it might be as beautiful as the Forbidden City and other palaces now if it weren't for the fire.
In other words, the fate of Yanxi Palace is still very miserable. Now more and more people are advocating the culture of the Qing Dynasty, that is to say, more and more TV dramas are spreading the culture of the Qing Dynasty, and more and more people are visiting the Forbidden City just to see what the imperial palaces in ancient Qing Dynasty were like and what happened here? What are the places where some concubines live? However, Yanxi Palace can't help but disappoint us. There is only one unfinished building in Yanxi Palace, that is to say, in ancient times, this building was not built at all. The fate of Yanxi Palace, I think, is the worst of all the palaces in the Forbidden City. In the end, the Crystal Palace was not built successfully, and all the previous palaces were burned down. In fact, compared with other palaces in the Forbidden City, Yanxi Palace seems to have some decline.
