Introduction to the tourist attractions of the Forbidden City Tour Sequence Map of the Forbidden City

Detailed explanation of the tour routes and scenic spots of the Forbidden City

Detailed explanation of the tour routes and scenic spots of the Forbidden City is as follows:

Introduction of the route

Enter from Tiananmen Square, come to Duanmen, pass through Duanmen and come to Wumen. The meridian gate is concave, which means that all rivers run into the sea. Therefore, when the emperor issues letters or receives the triumph of the army to "offer prisoners", it is at the meridian gate to show the royal majesty, and the minister of "beating with a stick" is also at the meridian gate.

Now the Wumen Gate is the ticket entrance of the Palace Museum, from which you can enter the Palace Museum. On the east side of the Wumen Gate is the ancestral temple (now renamed the Working People's Cultural Palace) and on the west side is the Sheji altar (now renamed Zhongshan Park). These two places can be accessed from the east and west sides in front of the Wumen Gate, so they are not part of the Palace Museum, and they need to purchase tickets separately.

The ancestral temple was a place to worship ancestors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the country altar was a place to worship land gods and valley gods. Now, the two places have basically become leisure parks, with many ancient trees and relics. It is worth mentioning that in Zhongshan Park, you can see the country altar made up of five-color soil, each of which represents a different place in Kyushu, implying the land of the world, and you can also see statues and historical sites related to Dr. Sun Yat-sen.

Entering the museum through the meridian gate is the Taihe Gate. Seen from the front, the meridian gate has three doors, and seen from the back, it has been known as "three bright doors and five dark doors". Now, the two secret doors seem to be places for luggage and staff to rest. You can climb the city wall from behind the meridian gate, and you can circle the Forbidden City from the city wall.

When you enter the Taihe Gate, you will find the famous huge Hall of Supreme Harmony Square, and the three main halls in the central building of the Forbidden City: Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Zhonghe and Hall of Baohe. They are located on a platform surrounded by a three-story white marble railing, which symbolizes the supremacy of imperial power through the image of lotus platform in Buddhism. The faucet on the white marble railing is not only a decoration, but also a drain. When it rains, water will shoot out of the dragon's mouth.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony is commonly known as the Hall of Golden Throne, but the Hall of Supreme Harmony and the Hall of Supreme Harmony Square will only be used in large-scale celebrations, and it is not the place where officials of civil and military officials go to court every day.

Tianjie is behind Baohe Hall, and Tianjie and Ganqing Gate in the middle are the dividing line between the foreign dynasty and the imperial court. The foreign dynasty is the country and the imperial court is the home. Civil and military officials are not allowed to go to the imperial palace after Ganqingmen, and the harem people are not allowed to trespass to the outer court before Ganqingmen. The civil and military officials listened to politics in the open-air Tianjie in front of Ganqing, aiming to listen to the affairs of the state.

Introduction to scenic spots

Three halls (Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Zhonghe and Hall of Baohe)

On the west side of Tianjie is military department, which was established by Yongzheng. As a trusted organization of the emperor, only the appointed dignitaries can cross the threshold of military department.

Behind the Ganqing Gate are three palaces in the Imperial Palace: Ganqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace and Kunning Palace. Ganqing Palace is the residence of the emperor, Kunning Palace is the residence of the queen, and Jiaotai Hall in the middle means Gankun Jiaotai, which is also the first palace with phoenix pattern painting on the central axis.

On the east and west sides of the three palaces are the six palaces in the east and west, and hall of mental cultivation and Zhai Palace in front of them. The arrangement of the six palaces is like the Kun hexagrams in the eight diagrams, symbolizing women. The six palaces of East and West are the residences of ancient concubines. Today, some of these twelve palaces have become exhibition areas for cultural relics and Chinese and foreign cultures, while others are not open.

The last three palaces (Ganqing Palace, Jiaotai Palace and Kunning Palace)

In front of the West Sixth Palace is hall of mental cultivation, which is the residence of Yongzheng and its later emperors (the emperors before Yongzheng lived in Ganqing Palace, and hall of mental cultivation was a warehouse and craft workshop), and to the west of the main hall of hall of mental cultivation is the famous Sanxi Hall and Sanxi, which means "the scholar is virtuous, the sage is holy, and the saint is blessed with heaven". In front of the East Sixth Palace is the Zhai Palace.

Behind the Kunning Palace is the Kunning Gate, and behind it is the Royal Garden. There are many ancient trees in the rockery pavilions, but tourists are not allowed to climb or drill holes in the rockery. Behind the garden are Qin 'anmen and Qin 'an Hall, which are unique in shape and dedicated to the Xuanwu Emperor representing the north.

Then there is the Shenwumen, the palace gate where the last emperor escaped from the Forbidden City and the exit of the Palace Museum. Across the road from Shenwumen is Jingshan, and the west of Jingshan is Beihai Park. They are all separate scenic spots and need to buy tickets separately. Before leaving the Shenwumen, you can also go up the city wall, go around the Wumen Gate, or go down to Donghuamen on the way.

The west axis can be accessed from the west side of Taihe Gate. The front is the Furniture Hall, which displays all kinds of exquisite furniture, and the back is the Wuying Hall, which used to be the place where royal books were printed. On the west side of the main hall of Wuying Hall is Yudetang, which is a rare bathhouse with European architectural style. There is much controversy about its use.

There are 18 Sophora japonica trees in the back of Wuying Temple, followed by icehouse, which is used to store the ice cubes dug in Jinshui River and Beijing in winter for use and cold storage in summer. Now it has become a tourist service area, a place for drinking tea and shopping.

After icehouse, it is the Cining Palace area, including the Imperial Garden of Cining Palace, the main hall of Cining Palace, Shoukang Palace, etc. It is the place where the Empresses and Toffees of various dynasties lived, worshipped Buddha and lived. At present, Empress Dowager Chongwen, the mother of Emperor Qianlong, a typical figure, is taken as an example to introduce the happy life of the Empress Dowager in her later years in the form of a unit exhibition. In addition, the Buddha Pavilion in the imperial garden is particularly beautiful.

the eastern route can also be accessed from the east side of Taihe Gate. On the east side of the three main halls are Wenhua Hall and Wenyuan Pavilion, which are the locations of the Cabinet. Unfortunately, the two palaces have not been developed. Behind the east side road is the Arrow Pavilion, which displays the armor and weapons of monarchs of past dynasties. Behind the Arrow Pavilion are Fengxian Hall and Ningshou Palace District, which need to buy tickets separately.

Fengxian Temple is near the northwest end, which is similar to the ancestral temple. It is a place to pray for ancestors at ordinary times. The clock hall should be exhibited in Fengxian Hall, but when the author visited it, it was exhibited in the small hall in front of Fengxian Hall. The clock hall exhibited clocks and watches given by various countries to the Qing court, which was very exquisite, magical and ingenious and worth seeing.

The writer's clock in the Palace Museum automatically writes down specific words on the paper when it tells the time. The Ningshou Palace area is further to the southeast, and the treasures of various countries and cultural relics of the Forbidden City are on display. The palaces in the palace area include the Imperial Palace, Ningshou Palace, Yihexuan, Yangxin Hall, Stage, Yueshi Building and so on.

The famous Nine Dragon Wall is in front of the Imperial Palace. Zhenfeijing is at the end of the palace. Ningshou Palace is the place where Qianlong prepared to retire when he was the emperor's father. However, because of his lust for political power, he was still the actual political manipulator in the first few years of Jiaqing's accession to the throne, and actually did not live in Ningshou Palace. However, Cixi lived for a while later.

Ningshou Palace District mainly highlights the elegance of "self-cultivation, harmony and tranquility". The three-story stage is located in the east of Yangxin Temple, and there are plaques and couplets on the three floors, which is very grand. People can sit in the north of the stage and watch the Lou Guan Opera. The stage is also a rare building facing north in the Forbidden City. Come out from the back of the palace area and go west to Shenwumen.

For a more detailed introduction of the turret, imperial road, lion, water tank, doornail, god beast and the history of the Palace, you can see the documentary "Forbidden City 1".

Introduction to the visiting sequence of the Forbidden City in Beijing

The visiting sequence of the Forbidden City can be as follows: Wumen → Wenhua Hall → Taihe Gate → Taihe Hall → Zhonghe Hall → Baohe Hall Treasure Hall → Dongliugong → Clock Hall → Ganqing Palace → Kunning Palace → Imperial Garden → Shenwumen. The Forbidden City can only be entered from the noon gate. The Wumen Gate is the south gate of the Palace Museum, which implements a one-way tour route from south to north. The meridian gate (south gate) is only used as the entrance to visit, and all visitors will enter the Forbidden City from the meridian gate; Shenwumen (North Gate) is only used as an exit. After the visit, the audience can leave the Forbidden City through Shenwumen or Donghuamen (East Gate). There is no special parking lot in the Palace Museum. The nearest public parking lot is outside Donghuamen, Jingshan Back Street and Beihai South Gate, with limited parking spaces. It is suggested that the audience take public transportation to visit the Palace Museum.

visiting order of the Forbidden City

visiting order of the Forbidden City: Wumen-Taihe Hall-Zhonghe Hall-Baohe Hall-Ganqing Palace-Jiaotai Hall-Kunning Palace-Royal Garden-Shenwumen.

The first three halls of the Forbidden City are the office areas of the Emperor, followed by: Taihe Gate-the place where the Emperor listened to politics; Hall of supreme harmony-the place where the emperor held the great court, that is, the golden hall; Zhonghe Hall-In addition to the emperor's temporary rest, there are also royal jade dishes, that is, the royal genealogy; Baohe Hall-the place that scholars all over the world yearn for. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a grand palace examination event was held here every three years, and "the son of heaven's protege" was appointed by hand.

The former dynasty represented the majesty of the emperor, so it was also the only place for all tourists to visit the Forbidden City. The overall architectural system of the Forbidden City is "central axis layout and left-right symmetry". Therefore, the best place to look at the Hall of Supreme Harmony Square is on the platforms of Hongyi Pavilion and Tijen Pavilion on both sides. Similarly, this is also an excellent place to shoot the Hall of Supreme Harmony and Hall of Supreme Harmony Square.

When you go down to Danbi behind the Baohe Hall, you can see the inner left gate, the dry and clear gate and the inner right gate. Inside these three gates is the imperial palace where the emperor and his family live, that is, the "harem".

Ganqing Palace-the residence of the emperor before Yong Zhengdi; Kunning Palace-the residence of the Empress of Ming Dynasty; In the Qing Dynasty, in order not to forget the ancestral beliefs, the left side of Kunning Palace was changed to a place where shamanism sacrificed, and the right side was the emperor's wedding room. Between "Gan" and "Kun", it is the "Jiaotai Hall" symbolizing the harmony of the Empress Dowager. The Imperial Garden-a leisure place, I think everyone knows that in those palace fights, the queens and concubines relax here, and sometimes they meet on the road, and the brave win.

After the tour of the last three halls, the traditional tour group will go straight into the Imperial Garden, and then exit the Shenwumen, ending the tour of the Forbidden City.

First of all, when we entered the Ming and Qing Dynasties from the meridian gate of the Forbidden City, we also called it Wufeng Tower, following the name of Wufeng Tower handed down from Sui and Tang Dynasties. There is a gatehouse at the upper part of the meridian gate, with two wings commonly known as "Swallow Wing Building". The whole building is strewn at random, echoing from left to right, and shaped like a rosefinch spreading its wings, so it is also called "Wufeng Building".
