Hello, I'm Mia - your storyteller for an extraordinary journey through the Forbidden City's living history.
Let's walk the sacred central axis where six dynasties aligned their capital with the cosmos, discovering how ancient urban planners manifested "harmony between heaven and earth" in every courtyard.
We'll become time travelers:
Decoding the rooftop zoo of mythical creatures (spot the fish-dragon hybrid mid-transformation!)
Gazing up at dazzling imperial color schemes that put modern rainbows to shame
Playing treasure hunter in secluded palace galleries filled with ancient Chinese porcelain whispers and furniture carved with secret symbols
The grand finale? The Imperial Garden - where Taoist whimsy, Confucian balance and Buddhist serenity perform their 600-year-old dance among scholar's rocks and whispering pines. This is where you might just find yours.
