Travel through time and space to see "The Number One Palace in the World"! Hall of Supreme Harmony, Forbidden City✨

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Travel through time and space to see "The Number One Palace in the World"! A super detailed check-in guide for the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City✨ Family members! When you visit the Forbidden City in Beijing, the must-see "star" is definitely the Hall of Supreme Harmony! This ancient building, known as the "Golden Palace", bears the imperial aura of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Every brick and tile hides a story. Take this guide and take you to check in in depth😎 Ticket reservation & transportation 🚇 • Tickets: Be sure to make a reservation on the official WeChat account of the Palace Museum 7 days in advance! The full price ticket is NT$60, and there is a discount for students with student ID cards. Remember to bring your ID card with you to enter the park, don't go without one. • Transportation: Take Metro Line 1 to Tiananmen East Station, exit at Exit B, walk through Tiananmen and Duanmen to reach Wumen and enter the park; or ride a shared bicycle to the East Gate of the Palace Museum, it’s super convenient to walk! Must-see highlights of the Hall of Supreme Harmony📸 • Shocking appearance: You will be stunned the moment you approach the Hall of Supreme Harmony! Golden glazed tiles, vermilion pillars, 72 huge nanmu beams, and 10 small animals squatting on the eaves (the only one in the entire Forbidden City!), the grandeur is directly maximized 💥 It is recommended to stand on the central axis of Taihe Square to take pictures, and easily take blockbuster photos from the emperor's perspective! • Golden Dragon Throne: The "gold-lacquered wooden chair with a carved dragon" in the center of the hall is the legendary dragon throne! It is surrounded by 6 golden dragon pillars, with a plaque of "Jian Ji Sui You" hanging on the top. When you look up, you can see the "Pan Long Xian Zhu" caisson. The details are so exquisite that they are breathtaking. • Hidden Easter Egg: The “Chishou” on the white marble platform in front of the hall holds a secret! When it rains, thousands of dragons spit water, and the rain sprays out from the mouth of the dragon head, which is super spectacular. Don’t miss it if you catch it on a rainy day! Tips for visiting the exhibition🧾 • Arrive early: Rush as soon as the park opens, take photos before the tour groups arrive, and experience the joy of "privately booking" the Hall of Supreme Harmony! • Avoid the crowds: You can also take photos of beautiful ancient buildings from the side steps and corners of the side halls, without having to squeeze in the crowds in front of you~ • Audio guide: Open the "Palace Museum" app, listen to experts’ explanations while strolling around, and travel back to the Ming and Qing dynasties in a second! The Hall of Supreme Harmony is not just a building, but also a microcosm of Chinese civilization. Standing here, you can seem to see the grand scene of civil and military officials paying homage to the emperor in those days. When you come to the Forbidden City, you must slow down and feel the infinite charm of this "No. 1 Palace in the World"! ✨
