As you pass through the imposing Meridian Gate, the scale and grandeur of the Forbidden City's architecture become immediately apparent. The vast courtyards, lined with red-painted columns and topped with golden tiled roofs, are a sight to behold. The Hall of Supreme Harmony, the largest wooden structure in China, showcases the pinnacle of ancient Chinese architecture. Admire the intricate carvings, the perfect symmetry, and the way the buildings were designed to convey the power and prestige of the imperial family.

The Forbidden City, with numerous halls and palaces, houses a vast collection of historical relics. Wander through the galleries filled with imperial robes, ancient calligraphy, and precious porcelain. The Treasure Gallery, in particular, is a must-visit. Here, you can see glittering jewels, elaborate jade carvings, and other treasures that once belonged to the imperial court. 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. The carefully manicured gardens, with their pavilions, rockeries, and flowing water, were designed for the imperial family to relax. 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.
