Beijing Great Satisfaction: Finding the Emperor's Footprints

#February Good Places 2025 When you come to Beijing, in addition to tasting the authentic Beijing roast duck here, as a member of the Chinese nation, of course you should explore the magnificent and solemn historical buildings behind this ancient capital of many dynasties! Today we come to the Forbidden City and re-trace the footsteps of the emperors. At about 8am, I first took a taxi from the hotel to West Changan Avenue near Tiananmen Square. However, we who have never entered the palace do not know that to enter the palace and it is the main palace of Taihe Hall, it is not easy. From Tiananmen, you have to pass through the Duanmen, the Meridian Gate, and then cross the Inner Golden Water Bridge and the Taihe Gate to reach the Taihe Hall. Mothers and children should take care of themselves and take pictures while walking, as if they have become spoiled palace maids! Finally came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, when I saw the plaque of "Upright and Bright", scenes of the court drama surfaced in front of me, I was imagining how the emperor sat on the dragon throne to review the memorial! In addition, we also visited the Qianqing Palace, Ci Palace and so on. Finally, we came to the emperor's imperial garden. I believe the emperors will leave a lot of footprints here too! Visit the bonsai rockery in the palace courtyard, and in the environment of birds singing and flowers fragrant, we step out of the Forbidden City to complete this historical journey. 🗓️Itinerary arrangement: half a day 💞Reason for recommendation: irreplaceable historical buildings, precious, grand! Tip🔔: Due to the large number of people visiting the Forbidden City every day, visiting the Forbidden City now needs to make an appointment on the official WeChat account. Friends who want to visit the Forbidden City remember to make an appointment in advance! #Historic Architecture #Forbidden City #Searching for the Emperor's Footprints
