imperial capital
No one in the Palace Museum knows everything. The only entrance to the Forbidden City is the Meridian Gate, which is usually visited from south to north along the central axis. The bell hall of Fengxian Temple and the main hall of Ningshou Palace are located in the northeast of the Forbidden City. Those who are interested in the exhibition must visit it. Many buildings and cultural relics in the museum will give you a deeper understanding of Ming and Qing history, geomantic metaphysics, art culture and religious beliefs. When you visit, you must rent an interpreter, which will be more rewarding and won't be a cursory tour. There are many tourists in the Forbidden City, but in the off-season of winter, there are relatively few tourists. The red walls and yellow tiles covered with heavy snow in winter are even more charming.

Jingshan Park
Jingshan Park is the exit of Shenwumen in the north of the Forbidden City. Most people come here to see the whole Forbidden City. When the weather is fine, you'd better climb here to overlook it.

There is also a must-see landscape in the scenic spot, where Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself.

prince gong's mansion
"A respected palace, half the history of Qing Dynasty" is slightly better than the Forbidden City. How can I miss it? This palace can be said to have witnessed the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty. It used to be the residence of a corrupt official, Xiao Shenyang, and was later sealed to Prince Gong, hence the name Gong. The most noteworthy thing in the mansion is the Secret Cloud Cave. In the center of the cave is a monument inscribed by Emperor Kangxi for sourdrang queen's birthday. Little Shenyang stole it from the palace and hid it in the cave. Because there are few inscriptions on Kangxi's life, the word "fu" is particularly precious. Visitors can enter the rockery to enjoy Kangxi's royal calligraphy.
