Beijing Journey: The History and Serenity of the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City

Having studied Chinese history for seven years during my school days, I had a basic understanding of dynastic changes and court systems. However, actually setting foot in Beijing and witnessing the grandeur of the Forbidden City left me in awe far beyond what textbooks could convey. In that moment, it felt as though I had stepped into the world of my history lessons and the scenes of countless historical dramas. At the Summer Palace, the weight of history transformed into a tranquil beauty. Amidst the picturesque lakes and mountains, I felt the elegance and serenity of the imperial gardens, as if time had slowed down here. This journey was not just about seeing traces of history but also engaging in a profound dialogue with the past.
