Gate of Divine Might
TBD — verify against 故宫博物院
- The north gate and main exit, facing Jingshan Park across the street.
You have reached the Gate of Divine Might, the northern exit of the Forbidden City. Look back for a final panoramic view of the palace complex stretching south. Across the street stands Jingshan Park, where the last Ming emperor hanged himself as rebel forces breached the city in 1644. This gate was where the last emperor Puyi left the Forbidden City for the final time in 1924.
