Someone here will definitely say: There are too many people in the Forbidden City to squeeze in. Indeed, the Forbidden City is crowded with tourists on holidays, especially during the golden week of summer vacation.
In the past two years, programs such as "Hundred Scenery in the South of the Yangtze River" and "I am repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City" have doubled the popularity of the Forbidden City.
The Lord wrote a classic route to visit the Forbidden City before. Today I will continue to summarize some tips to make you have a better time in the Forbidden City ~
Travel tips
Enter the palace
There is only one entrance to the Forbidden City, and that is the meridian gate.
They usually enter from Tiananmen Square, pass through the end gate and reach the meridian gate. However, friends who have been there know that they have to pass strict security checks before they can enter Tiananmen Square.
Although it usually doesn't take long, there is still a lot of time to wait in line on holidays.
Hate waiting? Then quickly write down this top secret route: take a bus to Donghuamen, one of the exits of the Forbidden City.
Then walk from Donghuamen to Wumen, or take a two-yuan bus ferry, which can save at least one hour and avoid the trouble of security check in front of Tiananmen Square.
Cuofeng Tour Three Great Halls
Now that we are in the Forbidden City, we must not miss the Three Halls. If you don't want to be crowded, you can visit the wrong peak.
Current business
There is no need to wait in line, and there is no need to compete with others for seats. Appreciate the layout of the hall.
And standing in front of the hall of supreme harmony to enjoy the sunset, the sense of history is very heavy. The sudden arrival of a century is either a feeling or a feeling of cold and warm.
Thousands of soil and water.
There are 1 142 faucets for drainage around the three halls of the Forbidden City, so whenever there is a rainstorm, you can see the spectacular scene of thousands of dragons spitting water.
If you don't mind traveling in rainy days, it's really suitable!
Not only can you see "a thousand dragons spitting water", but there are far fewer people traveling in rainy days than usual, and it is rare to be clean, as if the whole Forbidden City belongs to you alone ~
Gong ximao
If you love cats, then the Forbidden City is definitely a good place for you to "suck cats".
There are more than 100 cats registered in the Forbidden City. Some of these cats are descendants of royal cats, and some later sneaked into the palace, which is definitely another scenery in the palace.
They are fed directly by the palace staff. If you look closely, you will find a plate of cat food at the entrance of many offices in the Forbidden City.
If you are lucky, you will meet a few fat cats who are "working hard".
But palace cats are active in every corner of the palace, and the probability of encountering them is not 100%. They can only ask for a chance encounter.
After entering the meridian gate, go directly to the west, cross the ice room to Cining Garden, then cross the central axis to Ren Jing Palace, and finally to the Treasure Hall. This route has a high probability of meeting cats.
