A dreamy night return to the Forbidden City! The Palace Museum welcomes the flying snow, with white snow lining the red walls

A grand snow scene quietly descended upon Beijing in winter. The fluttering snowflakes danced dreamily in the air, as if the world was covered by a white veil of snow. In this cold season, the Forbidden City seemed to transform into a long-slumbering dynasty, sealed by ice and snow, waiting quietly and solemnly for the moment of awakening. Walking on the square of the Forbidden City, stepping on the crisp snow, it felt like returning to an ancient time and space. The antique buildings appeared even more dignified and luxurious in the silver-dressed environment, with the glazed tiles on the roofs and the snowflakes on the flying eaves and arches adding a touch of silver light, resembling a palace in a fairyland. It was as if one could hear the footsteps of ancient emperors, steady and majestic, summoning everyone who came here to immerse themselves in the long river of history. Large swathes of snow covered the courtyards and corridors of the Forbidden City. The white snowflakes added a touch of purity to the originally red walls and yellow tiles of the Palace Museum, as if caressing the imperial city that had endured the vicissitudes of time. In front of Tiananmen, the red flag fluttered in the wind, guarding the residence of the emperors for a thousand years, while the snowflakes gently landed on the flagpole, bringing a sense of peace and solemnity to the place. Entering the Forbidden City, walking through the snow-white stone paths, the tranquil atmosphere seemed to freeze time in the ancient past. The precious artifacts preserved in glass cases also seemed to slumber in the winter's cold wind, quietly waiting for the admiration of visitors. From one corner to another, each exhibit was like a moving painting, even more colorful against the backdrop of the snow.
