I felt that the guards' hats were too high, which made the guards look shorter than they actually were, and they didn't look so beautiful when they walked. We didn't go into the palace, but just walked around outside. The exterior of the palace is quite spectacular. It is said that when the queen lives here, the Danish flag will be raised. If you want to see the cavalry changing of the guard, it is recommended to come at 12 noon.
On the way to see the Little Mermaid, I happened to catch the changing of guards at the gate of Amalienborg. Since we couldn't enter, we just watched the changing of guards for a while.

Amalienborg Palace is located on the shore of the Øresund Strait in the east of Copenhagen. It is the main palace of the Danish royal family. The Queen and her husband spend most of their time here every year. The Royal Guards guarding in front of the palace are all about 1.9 meters tall. They wear bear-skin hats and ancient military uniforms: black jackets with gold buttons, blue pants with white stripes, and big leather boots; they cross white straps in front of them, and hang swords and boxes (used for bullets and ammunition in ancient times) behind them, just like the "foreign iron soldiers" in Andersen's fairy tales. Sometimes they stand at attention with guns in hand in front of the pointed, octagonal, red post; sometimes they carry guns on their shoulders, cross their hands, look forward, and march in step. Two guards walk from one end of the palace gate to the other, face to face or side by side. Then they turn 180 degrees and walk back.
