Currently Beijing does have a number of museums that are open for free, but free or not is a necessary prerequisite. Usually visitors need to make a reservation in real name, and only after the success of the visit can enter the tour. And these booking visits to the museum, is not built in the early days of this visit, but gradually adapted to the evolution of the.
?
The Palace Museum, a short time should not be free to open. Because for such a huge museum of historical artifacts, daily repair and maintenance costs, is a huge expense, the Forbidden City as the Ming and Qing dynasty royal palaces, but also has a pivotal historical position.
Thinking back to the 2020 Qingming holiday, Huangshan Mountain scenic area free of charge to open the results, that is, "10,000 people piled up", "tourists crowded Huangshan", "a kilometer of road blocking to be blocked for two hours! "and other news outbreaks, such free open travel experience is not pleasant. Even though it is the first vacation after the "foot ban", but free is an important factor in the explosion of tourists in Huangshan.
And in the past, the National Palace Museum, the highest limit of 80,000 people, has been hard to find. If the implementation of free access, I am afraid that the Noon Gate City Hall will be crowded!
One, why we want to visit the Forbidden City
(a) Ancient China's Ming and Qing Dynasties Royal Palace
The Palace Museum, formerly known as the Forbidden City is the Ming and Qing emperors work and live in the place, is also known as "the world's most luxurious mansion". It is located on the central axis of Beijing, and has become one of the must-see attractions for Beijing tourists, both in terms of geographic location and history and culture.
(2) the world's largest existing wooden complex
Beijing's Forbidden City Museum, and France's Versailles, the United Kingdom's Buckingham Palace, the United States of America, the White House, Russia's Kremlin, and known as the world's five major palaces, and ranked at the top of the list. The Palace Museum, more known as the world's largest existing, best-preserved wooden structure complex. For the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients, as a later generation, we are naturally holding a curious and reverent mentality, hoping to be able to visit up close.
(C) many of the Qing dynasty film and television drama prototype place
The Forbidden City, although it has always been in the form of museums, displayed in front of the world, but it is more like a historical encyclopedia that can be walked into, and take the audience to complete the adventure of crossing again and again. And whenever there is a new Qing dynasty drama hit the air, there will be a lot of viewers, with the mood to explore the mystery, to the National Palace Museum card to visit.
Two, assuming that the Forbidden City is free to open
(a) Square into a park
Everyone knows that the most open place in the Forbidden City should be the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony Imagine if the Forbidden City is free to open up the square here will not be turned into a paradise of square dancing?
(2) the ancient building into a leisure place
The Forbidden City covers an area of 720,000 square meters, the construction area of about 150,000 square meters, large and small palaces countless. The current situation is open to the public less than half of all the palaces, if the Palace Museum to implement a ticket-free system, will there be people to the Forbidden City to explore the mystery?
(C) where do the cultural relics
The Palace Museum *** counts 1.86 million pieces of cultural relics, the current treasures can be displayed in the Museum of cultural relics of about 400 pieces, most of the cultural relics are still stored in the Treasury. If the Palace Museum to implement free admission, most of the cultural relics may be placed in storage forever, after all, the weight of national treasures, can not be lost!
? ?
Three, the Forbidden City, why charge admission fees
(a) self-sufficiency, reduce the pressure on the country
The Palace Museum is a non-profit organization, even with state funding, but in the face of the huge group of ancient cultural relics, the annual cost of repairs, repair and restoration costs, it is a lot of money. The collection of tickets for the Palace Museum and the sale of cultural and creative related items has also become the Palace Museum, one of the sources of self-sufficiency. The National Palace Museum currently collects nearly 1.86 million pieces of cultural relics, most of which belong to the Qing dynasty old collection, but due to the elution of time, many cultural relics do not have to show the state. If there is no reasonable and perfect professional restoration, may be forever snowed in the treasury.
We once saw a Qianlong period of "red woof dragon male python" in the "new Palace", this "official clothes" body made of woof technology, in the Qing dynasty opera costumes are rare. But after years of wear and tear, the preservation of the inappropriate, the center part of the garment to form a hole, and repair this less than 10 centimeters of the hole, the staff to work day and night for nearly a year of time, and the cost of reproduction is more than 600,000 yuan, because the woof itself is a very expensive process.
(2) tourists increase, the Palace how to do
Forbidden City, former director of the Shan Jixiang once said in a report, the audience of the Palace Museum in 2002 when it has reached 7 million. In a short period of ten years, to the Palace Museum in 2012 has exceeded 15 million visitors. Let every audience enter the Forbidden City, can be more dignified visit, rather than even the ground can not see, can only see the back of the head of the audience in front.
Reasonable control of the number of visitors, visitors to the implementation of measures to limit the flow, to achieve year-round peaks and valleys, which is not only the protection of visitors, but also respect for cultural relics. The network of real-name ticketing system, but also can be very good control, the number of visitors into the Forbidden City on a daily basis.
(C) the Palace in the open area of facilities
If you in more than 10 years ago in the Palace will find that the Palace and no rows of rest seats, no garbage cans used to discard garbage, and there is no place for visitors to eat and rest.
And now again into the Palace Museum to visit, walking tired not far from the seat will be able to rest, do not have to sit on the steps; handful of garbage, can be found not far from the place to throw away; walking tired and hungry, there can be a simple place to fill the stomach. These changes, are derived from the Palace's continuous improvement and self-sufficiency, in order to give the audience a better visiting experience.

Conclusion:
The entrance fee to the Palace Museum is 60 yuan in peak season, 40 yuan in low season, and 300 yuan for a yearly pass, which averages 30 yuan a time. Such a price compared to other scenic spots in Beijing ticket prices, has been quite affordable. For many museums to open up free of charge, it is not an overnight thing, many are experienced for many years before gradually changed to free of charge.
And the Palace Museum is not different from the general museum, the Palace itself is a cultural relic, rather than we walk into the visit, we are into a cultural relic to understand its past life.
After all, some of my friends, don't value free stuff! If one day, our country's financial strength can fully support the Palace Museum's many cultural relics repair, maintenance of the huge cost. And people in the free access, can also be seen as their own to protect the heritage, perhaps then the Palace Museum is free to open, will also be in the must!
