India preserves the most complete palace, built nearly 300 years ago, with the royal descendants still living there today

The City Palace is probably one of the best-preserved buildings in Jaipur, situated in the heart of the old city and occupying a large area. Although it is not as famous as the Palace of the Winds, it is definitely a place worth visiting. The grandeur and majesty of this palace complex are breathtaking. Eight gates, like eight guardians, protect this historical treasure. The architectural styles of the Rajasthani and Mughal eras are perfectly blended here, with colorful and unique designs, and every detail reveals the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the artisans. The red and yellow buildings represent different cultures and styles. The red buildings, like the Sun Palace in Indian style, symbolize warmth and exuberance; the yellow buildings, like the Moon Palace in Islamic style, symbolize tranquility and mystery. The two styles complement each other, forming the unique charm of this palace. Most of this building has now been converted into a museum for tourists to visit, showcasing the luxurious life of the Indian royalty. The waist swords and firearms used by the emperors of Rajasthan, as well as the exquisite daily necessities and treasures, are displayed in the museum, allowing people to glimpse the luxury and nobility of the royal family at that time. These artifacts are not only of historical value but also artistic treasures, showcasing the exquisite skills and endless creativity of ancient craftsmen. Despite being nearly 300 years old, the ownership of the palace still belongs to the Jaipur royal family, and the royal family still lives in the Moon Palace of the complex, which is somewhat surprising.
