After nearly a decade of careful research and restoration work, the Hall of Mental Cultivation at Beijing's Palace Museum has reopened to the public. Once the living and governing space of Qing Dynasty emperors, the hall now offers visitors a first-person look at its renewed interior space. With 1,020 artifacts on display, the hall brings court life, imperial power, and daily governance vividly back into view, revealing how history and heritage have been carefully preserved for a new generation.
