Walking Through Imperial Time: Summer at the Forbidden City

📍Location: Beijing, China Exploring the Forbidden City in summer was like stepping into a living scroll of Chinese history. As the morning sun rose over the golden rooftops, we entered through the Meridian Gate and wandered vast courtyards once walked by emperors. The red walls glowed in the heat, and the intricate details of dragon carvings and painted beams revealed the grandeur of Ming and Qing dynasties. We took our time admiring the Hall of Supreme Harmony, then cooled off with chrysanthemum tea at the nearby Imperial Garden. Arrive early to beat the crowds and wear comfortable shoes—it’s a massive site worth savoring slowly. #hongkonghotel
