Similarities between Myself and Emperor Qianlong

The similarity is just a love for hot pot～ My wallet and stomach couldn't resist indulging in two hundred hot pot feasts a year.

Visiting the Hong Kong Palace Museum, I discovered another side of Emperor Qianlong 🤫. Who would have thought that Emperor Qianlong could enjoy life so much? Haha! Eating hot pot more than two hundred times a year, considering bubble tea 🥤 as a national tradition, and enjoying a game of chess with friends (the chess pieces for both Go and Chinese chess are made of jade, smooth, round, and exquisite, exceptionally beautiful), the museum also houses many calligraphy and ancient texts. The museum has thoughtfully set up an electronic calligraphy area next to the calligraphy exhibits, where you can try your hand at calligraphy with a brush on an electronic screen. You must give it a shot! (Even though using that brush is really tricky, it doesn't hinder experiencing the fusion of technology and traditional culture!)

The palace's lampshades are exquisite, and many utensils are designed in playful fruit and vegetable shapes. There's also a material I only discovered during this exhibition—Venetian glass, which is truly "BlingBling," resembling a treasury of millions of stars. I was immediately captivated.

There are many other fascinating exhibits. I highly recommend everyone to visit the Hong Kong Palace Museum to broaden your horizons.
