Golden Heritage🌟

Step Into Beijing’s Timeless Grandeur at Tiananmen Square & The Palace Museum 🇨🇳✨

Start your morning with the soul-stirring National Flag Raising Ceremony on Tiananmen Square—few moments let you soak in both patriotism and history like this! From there, stroll across the legendary square and immerse yourself in the heartbeat of China's heritage. Then, wander just steps away into the Palace Museum (Forbidden City), where centuries of imperial legacy come alive among sweeping halls and splendid courtyards.

Your perfect route: Flag ceremony at sunrise (arrive before 5:30 AM for the best spots!), then walk north toward the Palace Museum main entrance at No. 4 Jingshanqian Street. Take your time exploring iconic must-see areas: the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Imperial Gardens, and the beautifully preserved walls. For unbeatable insta-worthy shots, snap the golden roof gleaming under the morning sun from the Meridian Gate and capture peaceful moments at the rear garden.

Top tips: Book Palace Museum tickets online ahead to secure admission—closed every Monday! Visit on a weekday morning (avoid weekends and holidays for less crowd). Wear comfy shoes for lots of walking and don’t forget your passport; you’ll need it for entrance. Drinks and snacks are limited inside, so grab some water beforehand.

A magical heritage journey that’ll leave you awe-inspired—Beijing’s heart and soul, all before lunch! #beijing #heritage #forbiddencity #tiananmensquare #historicadventure
