The photographer is positioned at a slightly lower height from the side front of the building, looking up. The sunlight shining on the building creates a contrast between light and shadow. The illuminated parts clearly show the details of the stone carvings, while the shaded areas add a sense of mystery, enhancing the building's three-dimensionality and texture. The bright colors of the maple leaves outside the windows contrast with the building's rustic tones, enriching the visual effect of the scene. 1. Travel Tips: ① Ticket Prices: Peak season adult ticket $60 per person, off-season adult ticket $40 per person. ② Internal Attractions: Treasure Gallery $10 per person, Clock and Watch Gallery $10 per person. 2. Other Advice: ① The Forbidden City does not have a parking lot, and the public parking lots in the surrounding area are quite far, so it is not recommended to come by car. ② The Palace Museum is closed on Mondays throughout the year, except for public holidays. ③ The Forbidden City cannot be fully explored in one visit. For a deeper experience, multiple visits are recommended.
