Hit costume drama boosts popularity of places in Palace Museum

In fact, the Western-style part was added in 1909 when a concubine of the emperor Daoguang, Jin, intended to build a three-story architecture at the original Yanxi Palace, called Lingzhao Xuan. However, the concubine's wish never got a chance to be accomplished as the Qing Dyansty ended two years later.

Apart from the Yanxi Palace, Chuxiu Palace, Zhongcui Palace and Changchun Palace, are also receiving more visitors due to the drama series.

Other palaces that have appeared in popular TV products, including drama series Princess of Pearl, online novel adaptation Treading On Thin Ice and TVB's classic work War and Beauty, are also hot destinations among faithful audiences who came to visit the Palace Museum.
