As winter’s chill fades, Beijing’s iconic Forbidden City bursts to life with a pastel explosion! 🌸 The 600-year-old imperial palace, officially called the Palace Museum, is now draped in blooming magnolias, pear blossoms, and apricot flowers – creating Insta-worthy contrasts between vibrant petals and crimson-walled architecture.
🍃 Locals say spring is the perfect time to experience the UNESCO World Heritage site. "It’s like history wearing a floral crown," shared one visitor, snapping photos of pink blooms against gilded rooftops. The palace gardens – once exclusive to emperors – now welcome everyone to wander beneath fragrant canopies.
📸 Pro tip: Arrive early to catch golden-hour light filtering through the Hall of Supreme Harmony’s blossoms! The museum has extended visiting hours through April, with special guided tours explaining how Qing Dynasty royals celebrated spring rituals.
