Tiananmen Square is located at the center of Beijing. It is the largest city square in the world.

Not far from the square, a magnificent site adorned in crimson and gold unfolds. This architectural complex, with 9,999 rooms, carries the stories of ancient emperors and empires. Marble dragons stand guard at vermilion gates, while saffron-colored rooftops stretch upward as if touching the clouds, perfectly preserving the grandeur of the Ming Dynasty. When you wander through its courtyards, you can feel history lingering under the jade-carved eaves; passing by murals, you’ll see vivid phoenix dances depicted on them. Every sunbeam that shines here uncovers hidden secrets: the porcelain-blue tiles seem to hold the memory of storms, and the mosaics are like works woven from the dreams of past dynasties. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this place is more than just a palace—it is like China’s heartbeat carved in stone. Come and trace its timeless legacy.
