You can also simply say "this is" (这是 -- zhè shì).

E.g., for the Forbidden City you can informally say: zhè shì gù gōng (这是故宫) while pointing at the picture.

An easy way to find all the characters you need for this is wikipedia. Go to the English article, then click on 中文 in the lower left hand side, and you get to the Chinese article, which gives you the characters.

Good luck!
