Gate Of Divine Prowess

Unclaimed

The exit gate of Forbidden City. Complete your Forbidden City trip by going out the street ahead to Jingshan park through underground passage.

This is also known as Gate of Divine Might (神武門 Shénwǔmén), the northern gate of the Forbidden City. Built in 1420, was originally named "Black Tortoise Gate" (玄武門 Xuánwǔmén). This is the back gate of the palace which was used by palace workers. I believe now is mostly used as the exit gate for tourists visiting the The Palace Museum, which is good for crowd control.

The north gate of the forbidden city, this is the gate you exit when visiting the forbidden city you get a great view of it from Jingshan park.

Northern Gate of the Forbidden City...
