## What is Hanzi Palace?

Chinese characters become easier to recall when their sound, tone, shape, and meaning live in one memorable scene.

Hanzi Palace turns character study into a guided memory journey. Connect familiar people and places with reusable visual cues, then build a personal story for each character.

LEARN THE WHOLE CHARACTER
• Follow a guided path that introduces components in a useful order.
• Hear the reading, see tone-colored pinyin, and study meaning and stroke order together.
• Write your own memory scene, or use an optional on-device suggestion on supported Apple devices.

REVIEW BY ACTIVE RECALL
• Recall pinyin and meaning before revealing the answer.
• Write characters from memory, then reveal their stroke order.
• Use spaced repetition to focus on what is due.

SEE YOUR PROGRESS
• Browse learned characters and HSK levels.
• Track activity and maintain a daily learning rhythm.
• Keep learned words close with Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus Apple Watch.
