2 years ago, i had visited the forbidden city in Beijing, i really enjoy it, but i really feel that this place seems empty. When i arrived in Taiwan i understand why i felt the forbidden city empty, when i decided to go to the The National Palace Museum, adviced by every taiwanese as the most important place to see in Taipei. The National Palace Museum and the Palace Museum in the Forbidden City in Beijing, China, share the same roots. The old Palace Museum in Beijing split in two as a result of the Chinese Civil War, which divided China into the two entities of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and the People's Republic of China (PRC) respectively, cause when Chang Kai Check arrived in Taiwan, he came with all the forbidden city's treasures. 

The National Palace Museum is an antique museum in Shilin, Taipei, Republic of China. It is one of the national museums in Taiwan, and has a permanent collection of more than 696,000 pieces of ancient Chinese imperial artifacts and artworks, making it one of the largest in the world. The collection encompasses over 10,000 years of Chinese history from the Neolithic age to the late Qing Dynasty.Most of the collection are high quality pieces collected by China's ancient emperors.
