Is it necessary to go to the two halls of the Forbidden City?

In Dongcheng District, Beijing, the Forbidden City, also known as the Forbidden City, is the most intact and largest ancient wooden structure complex in China and even in the world, and is known as the "first of the five palaces in the world". There are many places worth visiting. In order to better visit the Forbidden City, you can take a look at this tour route (red dot in the picture):

There are many tours of the Forbidden City on the Internet, most of which are copied from official website. The route I recommended is the route we actually took ~

As this route is too long, I will cut it into four parts and introduce them one by one. Let me explain in detail the photos I took with my mobile phone:

① Route: Wumen → Cultural Center → Taihe Gate.

② Route: Hall of Supreme Harmony → Hall of Zhonghe → Hall of Baohe.

③ Route: Treasure Hall → Dongliugong → Watch Hall.

④ Route: Gan Qing Palace → Kunning Palace → Royal Garden → Shenwumen.

The following is a detailed introduction:

① Route: Wumen → Cultural Center → Taihemen route.

Tour:1.5km.

Best photo location: 24 places

Tour time: 30 minutes

The meridian gate is the main entrance of the Forbidden City. Tv dramas often hear the emperor say, "Push out the meridian gate and cut it!" In fact, it is a rumor, and the real execution has always been in Xisi or Caishikou. By the way, the Wenhua Hall on the right hand side of the meridian gate is the place where the famous little Shenyang worked ~

But in the face of such tall and majestic buildings as Wumen and Taihe Gate, most of the photos in your mobile phone are like this:

Although shooting like this is closely related to too many tourists, the main reason is that you haven't found the most beautiful photo spot and don't know how to avoid being photographed by the crowd. I have arranged the route for your reference. The route is as follows:

These positions can ensure that you can appreciate the different charms of the Meridian Gate, the Wenhua Hall and the Taihe Gate, and at the same time you can take beautiful photos.

Go through Tiananmen Gate, go through a long tunnel and come to Wumen Gate. This is the ticket gate of the Palace Museum and the only entrance for us to enter the Palace Museum! When you get to the noon gate, don't rush in. Standing on the central axis about 200 meters away from the meridian gate, it is very suitable for taking a panoramic view of the meridian gate with symmetrical composition:

Of course, if you think there are too many people at the noon gate, just walk east along the wall outside the noon gate and look up. You can also shoot like this:

When you enter the noon gate and come to the square, you can turn right directly and punch in the Chinese language hall. The Concorde Gate passing along the road also has a good view:

Although there are many red walls in the Forbidden City, Bian Xiao thinks that the red walls and green plants in Wen Yuan Pavilion around Wenhua Hall are the best:

When you leave the Wenhua Hall, you will pass by Zhaode Gate. Here, taking a low angle for Miss Sister will have unexpected effects:

Ps: Too many tourists may affect the photo taking effect. It is recommended to shoot when there are few people or the museum is closed ~

The line is not very big, don't stay too long, keep your strength, the line has started.

Tips: You can find that there is no Wuying Hall in this route I planned, because Wuying Hall is now a ceramic hall. You can make great efforts to see it, but there is nothing to shoot. So I didn't plan for everyone either ~

② Route: "Hall of Supreme Harmony → Hall of Zhonghe → Hall of Baohe"

Distance: 2 kilometers

Best photo location: 26 places

Tour time: 40 minutes

The outer court of the Forbidden City is composed of three main halls: Yitai Square, Zhonghe Hall and Baohe Hall. The largest of the three halls is the Harmony Hall, and the smallest is the Harmony Hall. The Golden Hall in Fu Wei of Kangxi is actually the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but it is not the place where the emperor goes to court on weekdays, and it will only be used when the emperor holds a ceremony.

Since it is the "three halls", the focus of taking pictures is of course the palace complex, but how famous it is, how difficult it is to take pictures. If you go the wrong way again, plus the interference of tourists, the photos in your mobile phone are like this:

If you want to shoot the three halls well, the most important thing is, of course, a panoramic view of the palace from a distance+a close view of the palace fence. As for which angle is suitable for panoramic view and where is suitable for details, I have found it for you. The route is as follows:

The position of the red dot can ensure that you can get a good picture of the three halls. I chose some to enlarge with you.

The magnificent building looks good from a distance, so when you are near the Hall of Supreme Harmony, don't stand in front of your Majesty Dan in a hurry. The hall of supreme harmony has the best symmetrical shooting effect:

After filming the grand view of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, we can walk up the stairs and experience the feeling of princes and ministers in the court. But don't take a cursory look at this process. White marble fence carving is also a good element for us to take pictures:

Walk past the Hall of Supreme Harmony and you will see it. Don't worry, let's stand in the square and clap cards:

In short, on the tour route ②, the best place to take photos is the square in front of each palace. Be sure to punch in the square, or you will miss the beautiful scenery and good photos. After leaving the "Three Great Halls", I suggest you continue to go east to see the legendary place where Wei lived.

③ Route: "Treasure Hall → Dongliugong → Watch Hall"

Tour: 3.5 kilometers

Best photo location: 30 places

Tour time: 1.5 hours

Although the Treasure Hall and the Clock Hall are two additional exhibition halls of the Forbidden City, Bian Xiao strongly recommends that everyone go and have a look. The dazzling array of exhibits made Bian Xiao admire the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients. With the popularity of the story of Yan Xi Palace, Dongliu Palace has gradually become a popular attraction, but most people have turned Dongliu Palace into this:

You'll know how to shoot exhibits when you go to the Treasure Hall. You can only shoot the unfinished building in Yan Xi Palace. I'm embarrassed to send a circle of friends when you take pictures like this.

I helped you sort out the "best photo spots" of the route and strung it into a route for your reference. The route is as follows:

Ps: There are many intersections in the Forbidden City, and the radiation range of line ③ is relatively large. The route I drew is a general tour route. You just need to remember to take the route of Treasure Hall → Dongliugong → Watch Hall. Among them, the red dot marked in the picture is the best shooting position. As long as you find these points and take photos, you can take good photos.

400 meters east of the Peace Hall is the Jubao Hall. On the way to the exhibition hall of Treasure Hall, you will see a colorful glazed wall, which is the most famous wall of the Forbidden City-Jiulong Wall. You must take photos here:

In fact, the Treasure Hall has many places suitable for taking pictures. In addition to the good environment, posture is also very important when taking pictures! For example:

Cute type:

Pretend to run:

Black boy type:

Leaning against the wall and looking out:

Play in the Forbidden City and take photos. Remember these general postures I taught you. You don't have to worry about posing in the Forbidden City anymore. The scenes in these photos are also on the route, which will definitely make you feel that you have not run in vain.

Go west after visiting the Treasure Hall, which is the sixth house where ancient concubines lived. There are the most fires in the East and West Palace, so this is what happened. But "uncompleted residential flats" can also take good photos, as long as you find the right angle:

After visiting the Sixth Palace, we also visited more than half of the whole route. Are you tired after filming for so long? We can slow down and have a rest in the pavilion, or we can sit down and take some photos:

Leaving the bell tower and entering the Gan Qing Gate, we entered the last stop to visit the Forbidden City-Line ④.

④ Route: "Gan Qing Palace → Kunning Palace → Royal Garden → Shenwumen"

Distance: 3 kilometers

Best photo location: 25 places

Tour time: 1.5 hours

The route is the core area of the palace, where the emperor handles daily affairs and the queen lives. In the Qing Dynasty, most of the Qing Palace, the Palace of Kunning and the Imperial Garden appeared here, and their fame dropped greatly ~ Unlike the solemn feeling in the first half of the Forbidden City, the second half of the Forbidden City was more like a southern garden with a touch of tenderness.

But in this area, if you don't have a good stroll, it's easy to take such a photo:

This is because you don't know where the scenery is best. I helped you sort out the route ④ "Best Photo Spot" and strung it into a route for your reference. The route is as follows:

It's similar to the routine of shooting the palace before. Don't rush in when you get to the main door. Using this plaque, we can shoot like this:

On the stairs in front of the Qing palace, we can also capture a little sister:

After visiting the Qing Palace, continue to punch in the Kunning Palace. However, many photo spots in Kunning Palace are concentrated near Duanzemen, which is near the west courtyard of Kunning Palace, so we should pay more attention to the schematic diagram when we get to the west courtyard. Do not miss the beautiful scenery:

Behind Queen Ning's palace is the Royal Garden. But there are so many tourists in the Royal Garden that it is difficult to take good photos here. This is still the angle emphasized by Bian Xiao! It's important to take angled photos, like this:

If you have enough time, you can play with the red line on the map and walk along the blue line. Although there are not many places where good photos can be taken in the Blue Zone, it is also good to see the famous West Sixth Palace where hall of mental cultivation and his concubines live.
