Beijing's first snow brings a millennium-limited snowy scene at the Forbidden City! Don't miss it

Beijing's first snow goes all out! The red walls and golden tiles are wrapped in a quilt, and the Forbidden City directly switches to "ink wash skin" mode! As the snowflakes just landed on the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the glazed tiles instantly turn into a creamy cake top, and even the stone lions cosplay as Santa Claus — this "Forbidden City limited snow scene" is truly a once-in-365-days event! 📸 Hardcore photo guide 1. Door frame framing method: Find any carved door frame, frame the red walls and white snow into a time-traveling picture frame, wear a plain-colored coat and look back, instantly becoming a runaway princess of the Forbidden City. 2. Detail microscope: Use a telephoto lens to capture the stone lion’s snowy eyebrows and the ice crystals on the palace lanterns, add a caption like “The stone lion’s styling fee today should be charged to the Forbidden City.” 3. Walk two steps along the red wall corridor: Have a companion take a photo of your back from behind, look back as snowflakes fall, and copy this caption for your social circle: “Snow falls silently, suddenly realizing a thousand-year dream.” 🎫 No second chances, quick remedies · Corner tower and moat: Shoot the corner tower from below + ice reflection, instantly get a horizontal Forbidden City snow wallpaper. · Jingshan Hill 2-yuan emperor’s seat: Overlook the central axis from Wanchun Pavilion, triple hit of red walls, golden tiles, and silver edges, the phone’s telephoto compression effect maxed out. ⚠️ Timeliness alert: This snow is a “gentle assassin”! Rush to the Forbidden City before noon, snow not melted and no crowds yet; by afternoon, there might only be wet palace wall memories left~ (PS: Can your Forbidden City snow photos become legendary? Battle it out in the comments!)
