Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan invited U.S. President Donald Trump and his wife Melania Trump to the Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City, after the U.S. president started his state visit to China in Beijing Wednesday.

Xi and Peng welcomed their US counterparts with an informal afternoon tea at the Palace Museum Wednesday afternoon.

They had the afternoon tea in the Baoyun Building, also known as the Hall of Embodied Treasures, in the southwestern corner of the Forbidden City.

Trump showed Xi and Peng a video of his granddaughter, Arabella, reciting Sanzijing (Three Character Classic) and ancient Chinese poetry. The Chinese president complimented her language skills, saying her performance was “A plus”.

Xi said Arabella - the daughter of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner - is already a starlet in China, and that he hopes she will have the chance to visit the country.

Built in 1915, the Baoyun Building is a Western-style building in the former imperial compound. It was used to store antiques, but now serves as an exhibition hall for the museum's history.

前三殿•参观

两国元首夫妇经内金水桥，穿过太和门，在恢宏庄重的太和殿广场合影。

随后沿故宫中轴线，依次参观了太和殿、中和殿、保和殿。习近平沿途向特朗普介绍故宫的历史、建筑和文化，特朗普频频赞叹。

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 after walking through the Gate of Supreme Harmony.

During the tour of the ancient palace, Xi briefed the visiting couple on the museum's history, architecture and culture, which received high praise from them.

在参观完故宫前三殿后，习近平向特朗普介绍了中国悠久的历史文化。他说，文化没有断过流、始终传承下来的只有中国。我们这些人也延续着黑头发、黄皮肤，我们叫龙的传人。

Taihedian is one of the largest wooden structures in China and the largest hall in the Forbidden City. Emperors of Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties held their enthronements and wedding ceremonies in the hall.

Zhonghedian, the Hall of Central Harmony, is a square building with windows on all four sides. Officials would kowtow to the emperor from here before he presided over grand ceremonies in Taihedian. The emperor examined sacrificial writings in Zhonghedian before offering sacrifices to the ancestors, to heaven and to earth.

Baohedian, the Hall of Preserving Harmony, served as the wedding venue for Emperor Shunzhi of Qing Dynasty. At every Chinese New Year's Eve and on the fifteenth day of the first month on the lunar calendar, emperors held banquets here to entertain vassals, imperial kinsmen and high-ranking ministers.

文物医院•参观

两国元首夫妇先后观赏了钟表、木器、金属器、陶瓷、纺织品、书画等文物修复技艺展示，并共同观看了珍品文物展。习近平和夫人彭丽媛邀请特朗普夫妇体验书画装裱工序的关键环节——托画心。

The guests were also invited to experience a Chinese painting being mounted on a scroll.

Xi and Peng entertained Trump and Melania with a Peking Opera performance at the Forbidden City on Wednesday afternoon.

The presidents and their wives took in pieces from three classic plays, namely Spring Seedlings in the Pear Garden, Monkey King, and The Drunken Beauty.

They took pictures together with the performers after the performance, which drew applause and cheers from the audience.

The performance was staged at the Belvedere of Pleasant Sounds, the largest opera theater in the Forbidden City, initially built during the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1736-1795) in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) to entertain the imperial family members.

With a history of more than 200 years, Peking Opera is one of China's main traditional drama forms and on the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage list. The art combines instrumental music, vocal performance, mime, dance and acrobatics.
