It marks the first time the museum will be open to the public for free at night for the past 94 years, and the first time the large-scale ancient buildings in the Forbidden City will be decorated with lights.
The main locations open to the public will be the Meridian Gate exhibition hall, the Gate of Supreme Harmony, the East Wall and the Gate of Divine Might.
Also, the renowned painting A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains will be projected on the roof of the ancients building and decorated with red lanterns, giving visitors the feeling of "walking along the painting".
