Walking Guide

To navigate to the Palace Museum, the most recommended way is to take Line 1 of the metro to Tiananmen East Station and exit at Exit B. Follow the signs, walk through Nanchi Zi Street, and circle around to Wumen (Meridian Gate) via Donghua Gate. This route helps you avoid the strict security checks and long lines at Tiananmen Square. For the photo spot, the location is right next to Taihe Gate.
