The Palace Museum also issued an announcement a few days ago that in order to improve the visiting experience of the general audience, relieve the pressure of audience ticket inspection outside the noon gate of the Forbidden City, and maintain the order of visiting, starting from April 25, 2023, the "comprehensive service window" on the east side of the noon gate will be moved to the "ticket service window" on the west side of the end gate.
