Hello! The Forbidden City served as the imperial palace for the Ming and Qing dynasties, housing 24 emperors. Its red walls and yellow tiles hold countless royal anecdotes and stories of state governance. The Terracotta Warriors, as funerary pits of Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum, feature thousands of pottery figures recreating the might of the Qin army, testifying to the Qin Dynasty’s belief in "treating the deceased as if they were alive" and the peak of their craftsmanship.
