The Palace Museum: Red walls and black tiles, the oriental aesthetics within the Forbidden City

Touring the Palace Museum still leaves one in awe. Red walls and black tiles, with the play of light and shadow. Magnificent and splendid, with an imposing atmosphere. Despite the vicissitudes of time, its beauty remains undiminished. Each pause and stay is deeply captivating by the Palace Museum. Newly visited the Ningshou Palace Garden, this secret garden of the emperor truly reflects Qianlong's lifelong pursuit of art. ⚠️Tips: 1️⃣Be sure to remember to book in advance and bring your ID. If you can't ensure early entry into the Palace Museum, definitely choose the afternoon entry time. Morning tickets only allow entry before 11 am, while afternoon tickets are valid after 11 am. I chose a morning ticket and almost couldn't get in. 2️⃣Entry is only through the Meridian Gate! 3️⃣The most photogenic colors are white, black, or low-saturation tones~
