The Inner Court of the Forbidden City in Beijing was the exclusive domain of the emperor and his family during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Located north of the Outer Court, this area includes the Palace of Heavenly Purity, the Hall of Union, and the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, where the emperor and empress resided. The architecture is more intimate than the grand ceremonial halls, with intricate decorations and private gardens. Visitors can walk through the courtyards and imagine the daily life of the imperial household. The Nine-Dragon Screen and the Imperial Garden are standout features, offering a glimpse of traditional Chinese landscape design. The Inner Court is less crowded than the Outer Court, making it a more peaceful experience.
