Shenyang Forbidden City 🏯☀️

#summervacay In the heart of Shenyang, the Imperial Palace stood quietly under the summer sun, its golden rooftops glowing against a bright blue sky. As we stepped through the crimson gates, cicadas hummed in the trees and the scent of warm stone lingered in the air. The courtyards echoed with distant footsteps, and colorful Manchu-style tiles shimmered in the heat, it felt like walking through a lesser-known chapter of China’s imperial past. ☀️🏯🌿 Inside the ancient halls, faded calligraphy and wooden beams whispered stories from the early Qing Dynasty. The air was still, thick with history, and even the breeze seemed to move with care. We wandered slowly, fans in hand, marveling at the balance between bold architecture and delicate detail. Compared to Beijing’s grand scale, Shenyang’s palace felt more personal like a secret history waiting to be remembered. 🎐📜👘 #travel #thingstodo
