As you pass through the imposing Meridian Gate, the scale and grandeur of the Forbidden City's architecture become immediately apparent.

The Forbidden City, with numerous halls and palaces, houses a vast collection of historical relics.

Each exhibit tells a story of China's past, from the artistry of the craftsmen to the political and cultural climate of the time.
Amidst the grandeur of the palaces, the imperial gardens of the Forbidden City offer a peaceful retreat.

Walk along the winding paths, enjoy the beauty of the plants, and imagine the emperors and their entourages strolling here centuries ago. It's a chance to experience a different side of the Forbidden City, one of tranquillity and natural beauty.
