Outfit Suggestions: Pair with Hanfu, a cheongsam, or a plain long dress, avoiding overly modern attire. 2. Travel Tips: ① Admission Fee: There is no separate ticket for Shoukang Palace; only the entrance ticket to the Palace Museum is required, which costs 60 RMB per person in peak season and 40 RMB per person in off-season. ② Best Time for Photos: Early in the morning around 8:30 when the museum opens, when there are fewer visitors and the light is soft, or one hour before closing when the setting sun casts a warm glow, making the red walls and pear blossoms stand out. 3. Additional Tips: Reflectors and tripods are not allowed; avoid occupying the best spots for too long and do not interfere with other visitors' experiences.
