The Forbidden City: A must-see in Beijing.

【Introduction】: If you come to Beijing, this is a must-see. The Forbidden City is the largest imperial palace in the world, more than three times the size of the Louvre in France. It has the largest and best-preserved ancient wooden structures in the world. The Forbidden City took 14 years to build, employing more than 1 million workers, including more than 100,000 craftsmen. It served as the imperial palace of China for 492 years, and 24 emperors lived here. ⛺【Travel tips】: The Forbidden City does not sell same-day tickets, and all visitors need to book tickets 7 days in advance. The Forbidden City is very large, so comfortable shoes are essential to make it easier to visit the various halls. Beijing is hot in summer, so remember to bring sunscreen and water to stay hydrated. In winter, keep warm, as the Forbidden City is a different kind of scenery in the snow. It would be perfect if you could bring a camera to take pictures! Every corner of the Forbidden City is full of historical charm, and you can take great pictures with just a snap. The magnificent architecture, exquisite carvings, and tourists walking through the ancient halls are all subjects for photography. 🛬【Itinerary】: It is recommended to enter from the Meridian Gate and visit along the central axis. You can visit the Hall of Supreme Harmony, one of the most spectacular buildings in the Forbidden City, where the emperor held grand ceremonies. Then, you can go to the Palace of Heavenly Purity and the Hall of Union to learn about the emperor's daily life. Don't miss the Treasure Gallery and the Clock Gallery, which display many exquisite artifacts and artworks that are breathtaking. Finally, don't forget to relax in the Imperial Garden and enjoy the tranquil beauty. 🧡【Tips】: It is best to avoid holidays, as even on normal days, it is crowded with people and long lines.
