What should I pay attention to when visiting the Forbidden City?

When visiting the Forbidden City, you should pay attention to the fact that smoking is forbidden in the Forbidden City, and remind others not to smoke. The Forbidden City is the largest existing wooden palace complex in the world, and there have been many fires in history. Every lit cigarette butt may be a threat to this precious historical and cultural heritage.

We should respect cultural heritage and protect cultural relics and historic sites. We should not paint ancient buildings and trees, and do not use flashlights and tripods to take photos in the exhibition hall. Because of the copyright agreement, visitors are not allowed to take photos of the exhibits in the exhibitions and specialty shops organized by the Palace Museum in cooperation with other museums. Please pay attention to the warning signs and obey the management of the exhibition hall staff.
