Palace of Eternal Spring
Palace of Eternal Spring, Imperial palace in Forbidden City, China
The Palace of Eternal Spring features five central halls with yellow glazed tiles, decorative bamboo patterns on panels, and latticed windows throughout the structure.
Built in 1420 during the Ming Dynasty, the palace changed names between Eternal Spring and Everlasting Peace before returning to its original name in 1615.
The corridors display 18 large murals depicting scenes from the classical Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber, painted during the late Qing period.
The eastern and western wings, named Longevity Hall and Fortune Hall, connect through corner corridors, allowing access to different sections of the palace complex.
The palace served as residence for Empress Dowager Cixi from 1862 to 1884, featuring a special heated platform bed in its northern chamber.
