The Forbidden City·The Palace Museum with its myriad gates behind red walls

The Forbidden City·The Palace Museum's red 'walls and black tiles, bustling with visitors' The red walls and yellow tiles are the best description of the Palace Museum Seemingly the same, yet different at every step, every view is a splendid scene in the Palace Museum, the Forbidden City with its myriad gates behind red walls Go to the Palace Museum once, no description can compare to the shock of seeing it in person, pushing open a door to witness six hundred years across two dynasties and three reigns The splendid Forbidden City, the Palace Museum with its myriad gates behind red walls What you can see is called the Palace Museum, what you can't is called 'the Forbidden City' where time within its square walls always seems to move slower 9 How many people can tour the Palace Museum in a morning, yet spend a lifetime unable to leave 'Forbidden City, the red of the Palace Museum' 'Each brick and tile, a pot of wine, two dynasties, three reigns, vast as smoke' 'Who to ask about the bygone days of the Palace Museum, untouched is the vermilion of youth' 'The vermilion gates and golden palaces dazzle the eyes, a thousand turns and a hundred twists, but all have an end' 'The Palace Museum, formerly known as the Forbidden City, each brick and tile of the Palace Museum has witnessed the vicissitudes of the Forbidden City over more than six hundred years'
