I also had afternoon tea at the Forbidden City!
Afternoon tea at the Forbidden City is a unique cultural experience. Here are some places in the Forbidden City where you can enjoy afternoon tea and their features:
1. Wanchun Jinfuk: Located in the east courtyard of Kunning Palace, Wanchun Jinfuk offers imperial-style afternoon tea. The environment is elegant, with Wang Xizhi's "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion" and Lu Shidao's "Ode to the Immortal Mountain" hanging on the walls. The signature drink, "Wanchun Jinfuk Latte," is served in a blue and white porcelain cup, with a large "Fu" character on top instead of latte art. There are also other visually appealing drinks like "Lychee Concubine Smile Americano" and "Noble Concubine Rose Cold Brew," as well as innovative imperial desserts like "Fermented Green Bean Dew" and "Red Beauty Snow Fungus Lotus Seed Soup."
2. Forbidden City Corner Tower Cafe: Located outside the Shenwu Gate in the west wing, this cafe offers over 30 drinks, including the "Forbidden City Selection" series, such as "Kangxi's Favorite Chocolate," "A Ride of Red Dust Concubine Smile," and "Nourishing Heart Coffee," each with a strong imperial flavor. The cafe's decor is themed around "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains," providing a blend of ancient and modern imperial experiences.
3. Forbidden City Icehouse Restaurant: Converted from an icehouse in the Forbidden City, this restaurant offers meals, coffee, and a bookstore service. The environment and dish names have a unique imperial style, making it another option for experiencing afternoon tea at the Forbidden City.
4. East of the Forbidden City Afternoon Tea: This is an afternoon tea experience that combines Beijing hutong culture with Forbidden City culture. It offers a nine-grid dessert box, including food shapes with Chinese characteristics like jade seals, stone lions, jadeite cabbage, and play walnuts, as well as savory sandwiches and snacks, paired with a choice of tea or coffee.
These afternoon tea experiences not only allow you to taste delicious food but also let you enjoy a peaceful and elegant afternoon in the rich historical atmosphere of the Forbidden City.

This must be the top of the Beijing snow scene, right?
The Palace Museum and the Corner Tower after the snow
Under the recent grand first snow in Beijing, it is even more beautiful and heavy. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the top of the Beijing snow scene! The snowflakes and the red walls and golden tiles reflect each other, which is a beautiful winter scroll.

After visiting the palace, you can visit the surrounding areathe coffee shop around the Forbidden City corner and Wenchuang
. When I was in the palace, I was still 10 years old. At that time, the most impressive thing was that the Forbidden City was really big, and there were too many cultural relics. Its just a look along the central axis. At that time, there was no interesting and designed Wenchuang~ This time for the surrounding area to pass the ~
, Located outside the North Gate of the Forbidden City (Shenwumen), inside the moat, coffee may not have anything special. The special coffee cups and the names of various desserts have been given the characteristics of Miyari. Volume, three thousand Jiali milk tea, signature slogan "Zhongqing flat" cappuccino, since then the foreigner has the charm of the East ~
and seems to use these names anywhere except the Forbidden City Some violations ~

Forbidden City porch coffee, give you a chance to make a work
If you just strolled through the Forbidden City, from the Shenwumen, it is better to go to the porch coffee shop to play a card to enhance the feeling in the court. The overall decoration style of the
coffee shop is similar to that of the Forbidden City. The red wall is covered with tiles, the interior is decorated with landscape murals and curtains, and the strong sense of ancient poetry is high. The coffee shop also sells a variety of peripheral products, of course, I like it, I don't think it is necessary. To say that coffee prices are similar to Starbucks, some are even more expensive, but they are always worth it. Why? Because buying coffee is not for the coffee itself, but for the coffee cup and the environment here, it is very suitable for taking some photos. In the peak season, it is difficult to have seats indoors and outdoors. If you can have a seat, take a picture. If you don't have it, you can sit on the fence outside the yard and watch the Shenwumen and the towering walls. Looking up at a photo, just to avoid the crowd around, very suitable for friends to make photos, haha.
Although there are a variety of coffee cups, but not all of them in the season, the general coffee cups are all paired with red gold. The special drinks will have blue and white porcelain cups, which are very beautiful.
