    Follow your guide to the Tongzi River, which serves as the moat of the Forbidden City and a popular leisure spot for locals. At night, you will often see people walking and jogging along the river, creating a lively, authentic atmosphere. For photography enthusiasts, the riverbank offers perfect spots to capture the Forbidden City at night — the upturned eaves of the corner towers and their reflections on the lit water make for highly artistic photos.
