When in Beijing, you must visit the Yonghe Temple

There is a mysterious and historical place in Beijing - the Yonghe Palace. This palace is the royal temple of the Qing Dynasty and the highest standard in the country! The location of the Yonghe Palace is super convenient! It is located in the center of Beijing, near the intersection of subway lines 2 and 5, which is the legendary Yonghe Palace Station! Whether by bus or subway, you can easily reach it. The predecessor of this palace was the mansion built by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty for his fourth son, Yin Zhen. It was later changed to a palace in the third year of Yongzheng, which is what we now call the Yonghe Palace. However, it is not an ordinary palace. The main hall of the Yonghe Palace was originally green glazed tiles, but in the thirteenth year of Yongzheng, after the death of Emperor Yongzheng, the coffin was placed here, so the color of the glazed tiles of the main hall was changed to yellow, the same as the specifications of the Forbidden City. The Yonghe Palace not only has a deep historical background, but it is also an excellent place for photography! The east and west Shunshan buildings and three exquisite archways are all full of ancient charm. The red walls and yellow glazed tiles are a vivid picture when put together. When you take pictures here, you are the protagonist of the historical drama!
