虽说是遗址公园,因为古物不多,这里其实更像是一个街心花园。新中国成立之后,在明故宫遗址范围内的各种现代化建设仍在继续,但遗址核心区倒是在上世纪50年代末被划为省级文物保护单位,得到了一定的保护。此后又开辟成了明故宫遗址公园(遗址北区)和午朝门公园(遗址南区),让四方游人得以凭着残留的内外五龙桥,以及那些因为修建新建筑而挖出来的柱础、石栏杆,想像一下昔日皇宫的雄伟。 Although it is a ruins park, because there are not many antiquities, here is more like a street garden. After the founding of New China, various modernizations within the scope of the Forbidden City ruins continued. However, the core area of ​​the ruins was classified as a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit in the late 1950s and was given some protection. Since then, it has opened up the Forbidden City Relics Park (site North) and the Wuzhaomen Park (the site South), allowing the tourists from all over the world to rely on the remnants of the Wulongqiao Bridge, as well as those pillars excavated due to the construction of new buildings , Stone railing, imagine the majesty of the old palace.
