Forbidden Red Walls✨

Exploring Beijing’s legendary Forbidden City is a must for anyone craving epic history and sky-high aesthetics 🏯☀️. With blindingly red walls and classic Chinese architecture, that first walk through The Palace Museum under a clear sky is straight-up unforgettable! Top Spots to Visit in Beijing: 1. The Palace Museum (Forbidden City) Address: No. 4, Jingshanqian Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing Open: Tues–Sun 08:30–17:00 (Apr–Oct). Tues–Sun 08:30–16:30 (Nov–Mar). Closed Mondays. Tip: Arrive early to snap crowd-free photos and give yourself at least 2–3 hours. Admission: ¥83. 2. Imperial Palace · Qing Palace Hanfu Ancient Costume Travel Photography (Forbidden City East Gate Branch) Address: 东华门大街35号 If you want Insta-worthy memories, rent Hanfu here to wander the palace in stunning ancient attire — feels like stepping into a living painting! Hot tip: Book your costume slot in advance, weekends fill up. Snapshot Insight: A group of us roamed the sunny courtyards, amazed by how the red walls glow against that bright Beijing sky. Hanfu photos here look next-level cool, especially close to the East Gate for those authentic backgrounds! Getting Around: The easiest hack? Take the Beijing subway to Tian’anmen East station. From there, it’s a 5–10 minute walk to the Forbidden City’s entrance. Food tip: Try noodles or dumplings nearby at Noodle Bar (No. 1, Jingshanqian St.) for a delicious refuel after exploring. Travel tips: — Buy tickets for The Palace Museum online a few days ahead (they sell out fast, don’t risk it). — Bring cash or Alipay/WeChat for souvenirs. — Weather can change, so pack sunscreen or a light jacket even in summer. #beijingexplorers #forbiddencityvibes #hanfumoments #travelchina #tripdotcom #hellohalloween
