The Chinese photographer revealed a mysterious perspective on the Forbidden City through his photos.

The Cam Thanh Gate in Beijing is the largest and best-preserved ancient architectural complex in China.

Built from 1406 to 1420, the Great wall consists of 980 buildings, believed to have 9,999 rooms and occupy an area of 72 hectares.

Today, the Imperial Academy includes the Imperial Academy Museum, which was once the royal palace and winter residence of the Chinese Emperors from the Ming Dynasty ( Starting from Vinh Lac De) to the end of the Qing Dynasty, from 1420 to 1924.

This was both the home of the emperors and their families and the ceremonial and political center of China for 500 years.

Since 1925, the Imperial Academy has been under the management of the Imperial Academy, which houses a rich collection of works of art and artifacts, based on the collections of the Minh and Thanh periods.

With palaces, valuable painting and calligraphy collections, as well as ancient pottery objects recording historical moments, the Forbidden City arouses everyone's curiosity and creates a "fever of the Ancient Palace Museum".

According to China Daily, for many years, photographer Shang Junyi has often passed through the vast area of the Imperial Citadel, from the majestic Kinh Tuyen Mon to the solemn Vu Mon God, moving between palaces, buildings, squares...

After taking many photos, Shang discovered that the Forbidden City exudes even more mysterious appeal when immersed in unique light, especially in winter.

To catch the perfect light, Shang has to endure cold air but is still quite excited about it. Shang hopes to reveal a different perspective on the mysterious Golden gate gate through his photos.
