北京故宮，又稱紫禁城，坐落於北京市中心，是明清兩代的皇家宮殿，亦是世界上現存規模最大、保存最完整的木質結構古建築群之一。
故宮，始建於明永樂四年（1406年），歷時 14 年建成，佔地 72 萬平方米，擁有980座建築及 8,704 間房間，1987 年被列為世界文化遺產。故宮內珍藏逾 180 萬件文物，涵蓋書畫、陶瓷、玉器等，是了解中國古代宮廷文化的重要窗口。故宮不僅是中國古代建築藝術的瑰寶，更是中華民族悠久歷史和燦爛文化的象徵。
The Forbidden City, also known as the Imperial Palace, was the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is also the symbol of ancient China.
The Treasure House is located in the Ningshou Palace area. It has a rich collection of treasures, including Buddhist supplies, ornaments, daily utensils, and treasures for appreciation. Among them, the red coral lion about 14 cm high, the Dongzhu court beads about 130 cm long, and the gold “Fengtianzhibao” seal are all rare treasures.
The Clock and Watch Museum is located in the Fengxian Hall in the palace. Most of the clocks on display are British products, but there are also clocks from other countries such as France and Switzerland. In addition to the timing function, these clocks are decorated with figures, birds, beasts, flowers, etc., which can also make various different movements. They are very delicately made. Among them, the copper-plated gilded writing clock, the copper-plated gilded enamel gourd-top fishing and woodcutting farming clock, and the copper-plated gilded rotating flower running man rhinoceros carrying clock are very rare.
