The Palace Museum, part of Beijing’s Forbidden City, is a vast complex that has served as the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. As you explore the intricately carved halls and pavilions, don’t miss the Hall of Supreme Harmony—home to the emperor's throne—and the meticulous details of the Pavilion of Literary Profundity. The museum hosts an impressive collection of over 1.8 million pieces of ancient artifacts, including calligraphy, paintings, ceramics, and more. Arrive early to capture the morning light illuminating the red walls and golden roofs. Explore the less crowded rear palaces and treasury for unique photo opportunities distinct from the well-trodden central axis.
