The Palace Museum prohibits bringing in one's own drinking water, which in fact monopolizes sales within the museum and increases excessive profits.

The Palace Museum of Beijing on August 29th, taking advantage of the 30-hour traffic restrictions for the capital's 60th anniversary National Day rehearsal, officially announced to the public that from now on, visitors are not allowed to bring their own liquids when visiting the Forbidden City. Although it was later changed to a recommendation, it is actually a ban. The mention of bringing liquids mainly refers to bottled water that tourists bring due to the summer heat. The reason for the ban is that it increases the workload for security checks in terms of manpower and resources, raises the cost of public security within the museum, and slows down the flow of visitors entering the museum. With a total ban, all these issues are eliminated. You come empty-handed, and I let you pass. It's convenient for both of us, and everyone can visit轻松ly. All you need is a money bag to pay as you go.
