Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan invited US President Donald Trump and his wife Melania Trump to Beijing's Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City, as part of the US president's Chinese state visit on Wednesday. They walked along the museum's central axis, also the axial line of Beijing, and visited Taihedian, Zhonghedian and Baohedian, three main halls of the Forbidden City. In front of Taihedian, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xi and Peng took photos with their guests. It is Trump's first visit to the country since he assumed the presidency in January. A second group of high-level officials also visited the Forbidden City, including US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
