故宫游玩作文篇2

暑假，我参加了由“中国少年报”组织的北京奥运风采夏令营活动，此活动使我受益匪浅，其中，给我印象最深刻的就——故宫。

北京故宫，旧称紫禁城，听导游阿姨说，它是明清两个朝代24位皇帝居住和办公的地方，现在被称为“故宫历史博物馆”。

一座高大雄伟的殿堂映入了我的眼帘，它就是太和殿。“太和殿就是……”“太和殿俗称‘金銮殿’，也就是皇上上朝的地方。”我抢了导游阿姨的话。“看来观看电视也涨知识不少，这点知识还是知道的。”我暗暗得意。

导游阿姨笑着说：“看来这个小朋友知道的不少啊！那我再补充一点吧！其实太和殿是皇宫里举行盛大典礼的地方，它非常的豪华。”听了导游阿姨的解说，我们都迫不及待地踮起脚跟往里瞧，看看金銮殿地面是不是金子铺成的地面。

绕过其它殿，我们来到了后花园。哇，我惊讶得长大了嘴巴，原来皇帝这么富有啊！花园都比我们村大的多啊！而且花园里面的'花那么多：玫瑰、郁金香、梅花、牡丹、兰花……还有好多我根本见也没有见到的稀有珍品，更不要说花园里的那些建筑了。

游完故宫，我感叹故宫真是一个奇迹啊！而这个奇迹是劳动人民用血汗换来的，更值得我去学习。

然后我们主要讲了珍宝殿。那里隐藏着千万亿的财富北京故宫游记。为什么说有那么多的财富呢？因为它里面的珍宝个个价值连城，甚至是无价之宝。就说皇后的头冠吧，就用了九百多颗珍珠三百多颗红宝石以及表面上覆盖了翠鸟的羽毛，你能说那不是无价之宝吗？

该到讲座的放松时间了！北京故宫游记我们两校各显才艺：先由他们表演了京剧，唱得跟成年人差不多，细小的嗓子里竟能爆发那么洪亮的'声音，还有腔有调。我们也不甘示弱，由近十名同学现场表演书法，有楷书、有隶书、有草书……还伴随着美妙的音乐。等“小书法家们”都写完了展示的时候，赢得了大家的赞许，他们露出了会心的微笑。他们可在表演之前辛苦的练了一个星期。在有奖竞猜中，我们学校派出了六个人，他们学校派出了十八个人，分别进行竞猜。我校以一分的成绩战胜了他们北京故宫游记，毕竟重在参与，给了我们参赛者每人一个奖品。

今天，我们全家一行到东阳影视城—明清宫苑去玩，我们整整坐了4个小时的车程来到了目的地。

远远的从车子向外望去，明清宫苑十分壮观，红红的墙，绿绿的`瓦，仿佛把我带进了北京故宫。我们先走过长安街，来到金水桥，金水桥上的石像雕刻的栩栩如生，各式各样，漂亮极了!走过金水桥，我们来到了天安门，这里的天安门与北京的天安门相比少了五星红旗、国徽和毛主席画像。接着，我们穿过午门，来到太和殿，太和殿是皇上上朝的地方，那里金碧辉煌。走过太和殿我们来到了乾清宫，乾清宫上面挂着正大光明牌匾。

不知不觉我们走到了最想见的御花园，御花园的牌子被密密麻麻的草遮住了，但是走进御花园还是能看见遍地的花花草草和各式奇特的假山，十分美丽。听导游说运气好能够遇到剧组拍戏，能够看到好多的明星，我们都特别的期待……

果真我们看见了有人穿着清朝衣服在拍戏，可惜我们去晚了一步，他们刚好收工了，不过还是比较庆幸，还是能让我们看到了几个明星，看来我们这次还真是不虚此行啊!

北京的故宫是一个美丽的大殿。我和爸爸妈妈一起去那里游玩。

刚踏进大门，就忍不住跑进去了，我被眼前这雄伟的景物所震撼了。我们步行一直绕着小路往前走，看见了以前古代皇上座的龙椅，听说龙椅主要是要用木头做成的，上面还雕刻着精美的龙图，漂亮极了！最后再刷上一层金黄色的油漆。

穿过太和殿我们来到了贵妃的御花园，那里的花开心地跳着舞，好像在欢迎我们。那里的东西都是完整的，真让人不可思议呀！御花园里保留了一颗颗古树：有松柏树、枫树，其中有一颗枫树已经有三百多年的'历史了。御花园还有两座假山，假山是由一块块太湖石组成的，每个石头虽然表面光滑，但是形状特别凹凸不平。

故宫很大，很宽敞也很华丽。每个大宫殿都是雕梁画栋、金碧辉煌，屋里面是用琉璃瓦盖成的，在阳光下金光闪闪，远远望去就像一座座金色的小岛。继续向前走，看到了一座古庙，听闻这古庙是某位皇帝去世的时候建的，所以就建在了山上。

我们沿着路线来到了故宫的内庭，听说还有条小路是不能走的，要是走了是要“灭九族”的。故宫共有8700多间房间，故宫也是保存最完整的故宫。最后，我们抵达了故宫的最后一道门—神武门，就结束了今天的游玩。

故宫游玩作文篇6

我早已想亲眼目睹那壮观雄伟的故宫，有幸在暑假的时候，妈妈带着我来到了我仰慕的故宫。

故宫又称为紫禁城，位于北京的中心，是明清两代的皇宫，占地72万平方米，大小宫殿一共有70多座，共有9999、5间房屋，是世界现存保存最完好，规模最大的帝王宫殿。

故宫的房屋还有一个传说呢！传说天上的玉帝有一万间房屋，因为皇帝是天子，他的房屋数量不能比玉帝房屋的数量多，所以就比玉帝少了半间。穿过午门，首先映入眼帘的是五座架在金水河上用汉白玉制作的金水桥，走过金水桥，穿过太和门，就来到了故宫的三大殿――太和殿、中和殿、保和殿。这三大殿都矗立在七十多米高的白石台基上，台基有三层，分别用汉白玉栏杆围绕起来，栏杆上雕刻着“二龙戏珠”、“龙凤呈祥”等精美图案。

太和殿是故宫最大的一座宫殿，又称为“金銮殿”，是举行大典的地方，在阳光的照耀下，显得金碧辉煌，雄伟壮观。走进太和殿，首先看见一把龙椅摆放在大殿的正中间，两旁有高大的柱子，上面雕刻着一条条栩栩如生的金龙。抬头仰望殿顶，殿顶中央有一条金龙，它的嘴里含着一颗大龙珠，它的四周还有六颗小龙珠，它们正对着龙椅。

继续往前走，就来到中和殿，中和殿是皇帝举行大典之前在那里暂坐和受官员行礼的地方，之后再去太和殿举行大典。

看过中和殿，就来到保和殿。保和殿是殿试的地方，里面有一方台，在方台的中间有一把木椅，上面雕刻着千万条龙，木椅两旁还各有一只展翅高飞的仙鹤。殿里还有许多考试用的桌子，桌子上摆着文房，游完故宫我不得不佩服古代人的智慧，也使我为此而感到骄傲。
