Introduction

The Chaoyue Palace was built for the 1937 World Expo. It is located directly opposite the Eiffel Tower and has become the best spot to photograph the Eiffel Tower. The Chaoyue Palace consists of two parts. The east side houses the Museum of French Architectural Art and the Opera House, while the west side has the National Museum and the Maritime Museum. Underneath the platform, there are also more than ten water cannons, which create a spectacular scene when they spray water. The building is also known as "Chaoyou Palace" or "Chale Palace" and is still a popular tourist destination.
