Schönbrunn Palace

Speaking of Vienna's Schönbrunn Palace, it's the epitome of luxury! The Great Gallery in this palace is essentially the royal family's "runway" for hosting grand balls. Just imagine - over 40 meters long, 10 meters wide, and so dazzlingly gilded it's almost blinding. In the past, the Austrian royal family held banquets and balls here - it was like a daily party! Empress Maria Theresa particularly loved to "flex her muscles" here, showcasing her powerful Habsburg dynasty. Later, Emperor Franz Joseph enjoyed strolling around here for exercise - truly an emperor who "loved life." The lighting in the Great Gallery is "outrageously extravagant"! Two massive crystal chandeliers, each lit with 72 candles! And these weren't just any candles - they were premium luxury items that could burn all night long. In short, this Great Gallery is absolutely "top-tier" in terms of history, art, and luxury! When visiting Vienna, you absolutely must experience this atmosphere of overwhelming opulence! After all, getting a taste of royal life is quite a nice "Versailles moment."
