Beijing's most beautiful ceiling

🌈The Museum of Ancient Chinese Architecture is located inside the Temple of Agriculture, which was a place where emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties worshipped the agricultural deity and held ploughing ceremonies. It is one of the two major suburban altars built simultaneously with the Forbidden City. The entire museum is grand and majestic, displaying the long journey of the development of ancient Chinese architecture through cultural relics, pictures, models, etc. It embodies the wisdom of the ancients as well as the changes of history. ⛰【Travel Tips】 📍Detailed address: Museum of Ancient Chinese Architecture (inside the Temple of Agriculture) located at No. 21 Dongjing Road, Xicheng District, Beijing 🕙Opening hours: Open from 9:00 to 17:00, entry stops at 16:30 💰Ticket price: Tickets are 15 yuan 🌟Highlights: 🍀Longfu Temple's Wan Shan Zheng Jue Hall central caisson Exquisitely lifelike and incomparably beautiful!! It is a masterpiece among the existing Ming Dynasty caissons and is considered a unique example of Ming and Qing architecture. With six layers from top to bottom, one can look up to see the heavenly palaces, the profound night sky, and the brilliant Milky Way, truly understanding what 'breathtaking beauty' feels like, as photos cannot capture even a tenth of its beauty. 🍀Longfu Temple's Pilu Hall central coiled dragon caisson The most distinctive feature of this set of caissons is the core, which is a coiled dragon exquisitely carved from a single piece of precious golden nanmu wood. The dragon's image is majestic and its posture is lively, surrounded by auspicious clouds, equally awe-inspiring. 🍀Permanent exhibitions Exhibitions on ancient Chinese architecture and the history and culture of the Temple of Agriculture, which provide a better understanding of ancient architectural styles
