Forbidden City Time Travel, A One-Day Adventure Diary! Hi, babies!

🏯 Forbidden City Time Travel, A One-Day Adventure Diary! Hi, babies! 👋 Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be an emperor or empress for a day? Join me on a magical journey through the Forbidden City! Stepping into the Forbidden City from the Meridian Gate, it's like traveling back to that splendid era. 🎎 🎨 First, the dragon relief carvings on the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony instantly made me feel the imperial majesty. Then, standing in front of the Qianqing Palace, I imagined how emperors of the past made their crucial decisions on state affairs. ⚔️ Next, the exquisite decorations of the Cining Palace had me in awe of the ancient craftsmanship. Lastly, every tree and flower in the Imperial Garden exuded an ethereal aura, as if untouched by the mundane world. 🌸 📸 Walking along the mottled city walls, every corner has a story, and my phone's shutter couldn't stop clicking. And those cute stone lions, each with its own little expression, are super adorable! 🦁 👣 Treading on the traces of history, each step is a dialogue with time. I wonder, have the footsteps of emperors also been left on these stone-paved roads? 🤔 In the end, walking out of the Shenwu Gate in the sunset, I couldn't help but feel moved: this day, it's as if I too had become a witness to history. 🌅 Babies, have you ever experienced a similar "time-travel" trip? Come and share your story!
