Zhongde Gate

Zhongde Gate

Zhongde Gate is located next to the Taihe Gate of the Forbidden City and is a must-pass route for visitors, making it a "prime spot" in the Forbidden City. Its east tower was originally used as a storage facility for cultural relics, often housing old display cases and other items. Setting up a youth activity center on the east side of Zhongde Gate is just one of the activities held by the Forbidden City during Museum Day. On Friday, volunteers from the Palace Museum will set up fixed reception desks in front of the Clocks and Watches Gallery and the Treasures Gallery, offering free guided tours to the public every half hour. The east tower covers an area of about 1,000 square meters and can accommodate around 100 youths and individual visitors at the same time.
