Try to enter the palace when you open the door. The monks will first read the Taihe Hall. At this time, remember to install the wide-angle head to shoot no one's big scene.
Then go straight to the arrow pavilion, which is the best place to shoot the red wall ramp! If you go fast, you should only have one, so you have a lot of time to shoot empty scenes or portraits. Portrait shots suggest using a large aperture fixed-focus lens.
Then enter the Treasure Hall and take the line to the east of the Emperor's Hall, and there is no one. I think it is the best place to shoot portraits, no less than the red wall.
Waiting for the East Line to play well, at this time the Forbidden City is full of people everywhere.
Hurry to have lunch, then you can go shopping in the Sixth House, take a fixed focus or a telephoto to shoot some small scenes, such as eaves, plaques. In the East Sixth Palace, some permanent exhibitions will be held in some palaces; in the Sixth House, many courtyards are closed, and even the open courtyards are in urgent need of funding. Therefore, the game of the Sixth Palace in the Forbidden City is nothing more than a look at the building to listen to the explanation, and then look at people.
East and West Palace play well early, you can find a corner to rest, wait until 4 o'clock in the afternoon to close the field, you can return to the central axis, do not shoot before the reshoot, such as Baohe Temple, dry Qing Kunning Palace and the like. Finally, go all the way north and leave from Shenwumen.
Don't really leave Ha ~ Go out and take a photo of the turret to be a perfect day. As the most wanted position for the "Old Master" in China, you can't miss it anyway.
Forbidden Palace anti-routine day trip, get it?
Tips: Be sure to buy a good ticket online. When you go to the scene to swipe your ID card, you can save a lot of time.

When you’re traveling in China, it’s best to keep at a low pace. There is so much greatness to see and experience. You need to take a little bit of time to enjoy in the moment. It doesn’t all have to be photographed. Some experiences need to be lived and felt in the present. Photography gives content. Life gives content and context. We always remember the context and like to share it too.
It's obviously gorgeous and historic and is definitely a must-see if you ever travel through Beijing. But do know that it is absolutely massive, sprawling, and easy to get lost in. There are a lot of hidden corners, and many of the courtyards resemble each other. As my group continued through, we found ourselves asking, "Have we already been here?" on more than one occasion. If possible, I'd recommend not going in the summer as there is little shade and it gets HOT. If you do go in the summer, make sure to bring plenty of sunscreen and if you get one, a mini handheld fan. There were places inside to buy water, but I'd recommend bringing your own, too.
When I was a kid, I,ve watched a movie, "The Last Emperor". So the experience was great, it is a must see when you are in Beijing!
It is bigger than one can imagine, an absolute amazing place with overwhelming history! We had a fantastic time
It was a must if you visit Beijing.There had some special things being exhibited because of the Spring Festival,like couplets,lanterns,door god and many of the traditional celebration and celebratory things.They were beautiful and delicate and old.For instance,we saw many exquisite chairs and cupboards and tables in the furniture museum.There were many tiny details and figures on it. The exhibition was great but just a little bit crowded.I was too little compared with those adults so I could hardy see these fantastic things. I saw a set of golden chimes and they are huge,shining and impressive.It also had a meandering experience.We not only went to see the exhibition but also walked around it on the city walls.There were exhibitions in the turrets too.There was one showing you how it was built and that made me gasp in admiration about our ancestors’ wise for building houses without a single nail. It was great to go for a walk on it because you can see the beautiful scenes both inside and outside.It was good to see the whole museum from up high and you can see the yellow or green roofs,the yellow ones will be golden if the sun shines on it,and the red walls.Outside,you’ll see the Jingshan Park .There were just a few people on the city walls because many of the tourists don’t know this.Things in it were still brilliant.It was a big museum and there were many long-term exhibitions.We didn’t go into all of them because we were running out of time but I know they are pretty good so I suggest you go in and have a look.I promise it won’t let you down.I know I will come back for the second,or third time.I hope you’ll have that feeling too.It’s a good place to know further about Chinese culture ,history and it was our glory!Tips:1.If you want to have a better visiting experience,you’d better go there on weekdays and there would be fewer people.2.Things in it will be a little expensive so you ought to prepare everything well and full up your tummy or bring enough money.
