Visiting the "Forbidden City" in Hong Kong

Hong Kong Palace Museum To visit the Forbidden City complex, you go to Beijing, but to visit the Palace Museum, you can come to Hong Kong. After exiting the West Kowloon High-Speed Rail Station, a 20-minute walk along the coastline will take you to your destination. The Hong Kong Palace Museum's architecture, at first glance, doesn't seem to have much to do with the "Forbidden City." After all, in a modern port city filled with skyscrapers, erecting a "Temple of Heaven" or "Temple of Earth" would disrupt the overall architectural harmony. However, the color scheme of the Palace Museum, with its bright yellow and crimson red combination, is a quintessential representation of Beijing. There have been rumors that the collection would definitely come to the Hong Kong Palace Museum, and indeed, inside, there's a dazzling array of exhibits, including the "Emperor's New Clothes," daily necessities, imperial hand-held objects, and tribute gifts. It takes at least two hours to walk through each hall. Tips: You need to purchase tickets in advance and make an appointment for your visit. To ensure a pleasant visiting experience, there are still flow control measures in place. In addition, there is luggage storage outside the museum, but the capacity is limited, so try not to bring luggage when visiting.
