August 8 is this year’s “Liqiu”, literally “the establishment of autumn”, in China’s lunar calendar. The Forbidden City’s official social media account shares a group of photos taken this very day, and wins applause from netizens. “I am changing my lock screen.” One says. “You just cannot take a bad picture about the Forbidden City. Snap it, and there you go.” Another comments.

Forbidden City is the royal palace in the center of Beijing.
