“Evening of Lantern Celebrations at the Forbidden City” is the first free evening-event for the general public in the ninety-four years of the Palace Museum’s history. It extended its opening hours to the evening for the first time on Feb. 19 and Feb. 20 in celebration for this year’s Lantern Festival.

About 3,000 visitors were allowed to visit the Palace Museum and step onto the outer city walls of the museum to enjoy a night tour. Around 500 tour participants were able to secure online reservations with the free tickets booked in just 10 minutes. Others included invited guests such as model workers and soldiers in appreciation for their great contributions.

According to Shan Jixiang, director of the Palace Museum, special lighting technology was employed to protect the wooden architecture and prevent the possibility of fires. It is the first time the museum designed a night visit route for the general public. He said some important days in the lunar calendar, like the Mid-Autumn Festival, would possibly become new occasions for night tours, and more regions other than city walls might be opened after the sun sets.

The Palace Museum proudly presents this evening event and wishes all a Happy Lantern Festival!
