[Ticket] 60 (peak season) [Explanation] 20/person Tips: 1. Make an appointment for explanation at the ticket office. There are not many interpreters and you may need to wait. When I went there, I was told that I would have to wait for about an hour and a half. If you have time, it is recommended to make an appointment and wait. You can visit it by yourself first, and then visit it again when the explanation comes. The experience will definitely be better! I gave up waiting because of time constraints, and I regretted it a bit. 2. Be sure to do some homework in advance, and then feel the shock brought to you by the physical objects on the spot. The experience will definitely be much better. I didn't do my homework, and I didn't ask for an explanation because of the long waiting time. I just looked at it and felt a little lost after playing, but after I went home, I made up some homework carefully, combined with the feeling on the spot, and I was still aftertaste. 3. After watching Yongle Palace, you can go to "Cooked Meat Shop", next to Ruicheng Hotel
