Versailles Palace Louis XIV built up the palace. The palace seems to be about the same size as the Louvre, but there is a very wide garden that has the feeling of not being able to be seen at a glance. The imperial garden of the Forbidden City is almost a bonsai compared to it

The palace is divided into many halls, including the Hall of Venus, the Hall of Mercury, the Hall of Mars, the Hall of Harvest, and the Hall of Mirrors. Each hall is glorious, and some of them are painted with ancient Greek mythological figures, which makes me feel more and more that France has inherited the fine tradition of ancient Greece. I just don't understand the move to these ancient Greek gods and goddesses, not afraid of God will not be pleased. These halls were used for the king and ministers to have dinner, play billiards together, receive guests, etc.. The Hall of Mirrors is especially gorgeous, with the emperor's throne at one end of the hall on top of nine steps, which is more luxurious than the Imperial Throne of the Forbidden City. It is said that the country because of the war costs, often to melt some of the fine gold and silver furniture into coins to make up for the expenses, so the king met with the Persian emissaries after the Spanish War when the throne steps on both sides of the original fine ornaments are empty. It is strange why not go to not collect more taxes, what slaughter tax, interest tax, personal income tax, etc., you are the emperor who you are afraid of. So the emperor's family things are poured out, the emperor how to live, where is the dignity. Mirror Hall of the emperor's throne is sitting in the south facing north, if the year I sent an envoy to meet the French emperor, it must be first by the Venus Hall Mars Hall mirror Hall of luxury and exquisite scared feet and necks weak, see the emperor's throne and then a long breath, and then heart despise: barbarians are barbarians, the order of respect for the inferior do not understand, how Xiong Yuan country to serve the nations.
