Man Spends A Year Building Replica of Beijing’s Forbidden City Using LEGO Bricks

A LEGO enthusiast from China recently showcased his most impressive project which is a replica of the Forbidden City in Beijing made from 700,000 LEGO bricks. The replica, which measures 4 meters long and 2.4 meters wide, was created by a LEGO enthusiast from Guangzhou named Li Zhining, over the course of a year.

It features all the elements of the palace complex, including the iconic Meridian Gate, more than 70 palaces, and 9,000 houses from the three main halls of the Forbidden City, the moat, and all the towers.

What’s even more impressive is the fact that he doesn’t use custom bricks, instead of relying only on his large collection of standard pieces.

Li Zhining says that he fell in love with LEGO in 2008 and since then he has been obsessed with it. His impressive collection now totals more than 100 million individual pieces, which in total weigh around 11 tons.

This Forbidden City replica is just Li Zhining’s latest addition to an impressive portfolio of special LEGO fan creations. In the past, he has reportedly developed LEGO models of Notre Dame cathedral, Westminster Castle, Canton Tower, and more.
