The Upcoming Forbidden City: A Glimpse of a Millennium in Autumn

Red walls reflect the shadows of maple leaves,
The sundial marks the passage of time.
When the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City are gilded by the autumn sun,
When the shadows of maple leaves blur into poetry on the vermilion walls,
This is the romantic autumn of Beijing.

Why not slow down in this golden season,
Watch the wind sweep across the palace eaves,
Listen to the leaves fall before the steps,
And savor the richness of time and the gentleness of life in the fusion of history and nature.
