The Forbidden City in autumn is absolutely stunning!

Located at the core of Beijing's central axis, the Forbidden City is the largest and best-preserved wooden palace complex in the world. In autumn, the ginkgo trees complement the red walls, and in winter, frost colors the golden tiles. Here, you can appreciate the six-hundred-year history of the Forbidden City and explore the original scenes of many Qing Dynasty palace dramas.
