Most tourists who visit Beijing for the first time consider the Forbidden City a place they must see. The Forbidden City, known as Gugong in Mandarin, once served as the imperial palace for 24 emperors during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is a symbol of ancient China. Although it is no longer China's political center, you can still feel its former glory once you are surrounded by the high walls in the courtyard. Its long history has left behind many precious architecture and cultural relics, making it one of modern China's most important cultural heritages.

5 Things to Know Before Going to Beijing5 Things to Know Before Going to Beijing I look forward to winter in Beijing the most, walking through the hutongs with a smoky aroma, eating candied haws and watching people come and go in the hutongs. 1️⃣Transportation tips: Direct flight from Shanghai to Beijing, 300 yuan. Beijing has Beijing Capital Airport and Daxing Airport. The Capital Airport is closer to the city, recommended. You can reach the city area by 3 subway stations. 2️⃣Accommodation tips: I like Xicheng District, which has a very old Beijing feel. There are many quadrangles here. I live in a hutong on Yan Dai Xie Street, the feeling of an old courtyard, and I can chat with the old men when I go out in the morning. 250 yuan per night. 3️⃣Tour tips: Tiananmen, Forbidden City, Jingshan Park, Yan Dai Xie Street, Nanluoguxiang, Bird's Nest, Water Cube, Badaling Great Wall. This route is very suitable for friends who are visiting Beijing for the first time. Tiananmen and the Forbidden City are together, and you need to queue up to enter. The Forbidden City ticket is 40 yuan. Jingshan Park is a hillside park overlooking the panoramic view of the Forbidden City, with a good view, recommended. The ticket is 2 yuan. Yan Dai Xie Street and Nanluoguxiang are both centuries-old historical districts. Many famous hutongs are here, where celebrities gather and there are many snacks and delicacies. The Bird's Nest and Water Cube, take subway line 8, get off at the Olympic Sports Center, the ticket is 78 yuan. The Badaling Great Wall, the ticket starts at 35 yuan, the Great Wall is in the suburbs, and it takes a day to visit. 4️⃣Food tips: Recommend Baozang Roast Duck Restaurant, Liu's Restaurant, it's crispy and can be dipped in white sugar. About 200 yuan for one, and there are many Beijing special dishes. Qixun Baizhao Hutong Cuisine, Beijing cuisine in the old hutong, retro style, recommended almond tofu. Average 100 yuan per person. Huguo Temple Snacks, a must-visit halal snack shop in Beijing, with baked buns, pea yellow, donkey rolls, etc. Average 20 yuan per person. 5️⃣S2 train tips: The S2 train is a beautiful sightseeing train route, and it is also the most cost-effective transportation from the city to the Great Wall. The starting station is Huangtudian Station to Yanqing Station, passing through Nankou Station and Badaling Station. The round trip to the Great Wall is 14 yuan.diplomatical_leona82

Who can explain the phenomenon of the corner tower of the Forbidden City in BeijingThe Forbidden City, the corner tower, the river, the wild geese, Beijing here is simply the earthly beauty of the blue sky and yellow leaves 😝 The beauty of the combination of rigidity and softness in Eastern ancient architecture is even more prominent under the blue sky and white clouds ☁️, showing the ancient majesty. The classic photo 📷 spot is at the northwest corner outside the Forbidden City, no need to go into the Forbidden City Museum 😯 Just outside the moat of the Forbidden City, you can directly locate 📍 to the Shenwu Gate of the Forbidden City, which is the north gate of the Forbidden City, turn right ➡️ about 100 meters, when you get there you actually don't need to look for it, the place where the cameras 📹 are piled up is right 🤪SAMSON RICHARDS16

The must see one, or to say as the place that can't be missed in your bucket list when you go to Beijing is 故宫 (Forbidden palace). As the name goes, it was really forbidden for a long time for commoners; as it's supposed to be protective place for the king and his family. And the architecture represents the early Ming dynasty and few other subsequent kingdoms have made changes. It's really that even a day won't be enough I would say, so on Day 1 have a look at the 天安门广场 (Tiananmen Square) and cover up part of the palace. There's also a VR place inside the palace where they take on a virtual journey about the palace. First day upto the Earth tower will be great. Yes, different towers represent Fire, Sky, Water, Turtle, Phoenix (sort of), Earth. The following day, cover up the rest of the palace and go to the park just behind the palace where you can get the view as in this picture. And most importantly don't forget to go around the 故宫 in the evening with all those glitters. There are a series of buildings that are built in straight line across the city, extending upto the Bell and Drum tower. On day 3, get immersed in the modern Beijing by visiting the CCTV headquarters, China world trade center tower III building and enjoy the Northern food. It'll be a perfect mix of ancient and modern. #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #beijingtravel #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecityAaru 裴儒11
Beijing Travel | In autumn, you must stay in Beiping!| In autumn, you must stay in Beiping!. 🍁 Lao She said, in spring you should stay in Hangzhou, in summer you should stay in Qingcheng Mountain, and in autumn you must stay in Beiping. 🍁 Because, the autumn in Beiping is heaven. The cooing of tame pigeons under the clear sky, the brilliant red walls of the Forbidden City, the blooming chrysanthemums in Zhongshan Park and Beihai, and the densely arranged hutongs, everywhere are fluttering yellow leaves. 🍁 The autumn of Beiping starts from the Forbidden City. When an autumn breeze blows overnight, it stirs the golden trees in the courtyard, and the bright yellow responds to the majestic reddish purple, as if there is no need to wait for the winter snowfall, the Forbidden City is beautified, and Beijing turns into Beiping. 🍁 In autumn, you must also go to the Temple of Earth Park to step on the golden leaves. Shi Tiesheng said that the Temple of Earth in autumn is the most beautiful. Red maple leaves, yellow ginkgo, green pines and cypresses, matched with red walls, green tiles, and the clear blue sky, there is no longer the 'endless sorrow of autumn' mentioned by the ancients, but more serenity and tranquility. 🍁 Lao She once said that in terms of clothing, food, living, and transportation, in the autumn of Beiping, there is not a single aspect that does not satisfy people. In terms of weather, it is neither cold nor hot. In terms of food, apples, persimmons, dates, grapes, each has several varieties. As for the small white pears and large white crabapples, which are special products of Beiping, they contain the unique taste of old Beiping～ 🍂 The autumn days in Beiping are its fragrant prime, and you, must come and stay for a while～ .Harper Nelson
Skip the Queue | The Forbidden City Quick Entry GuideDuring the summer, tickets for the Forbidden City are hard to come by, and entering the Forbidden City from the Tiananmen Tower requires lining up in long queues. Coupled with the unbearable heat, it can be quite torturous. However, there are two fast-track entrances to the Forbidden City where you can avoid the queues and go straight to the ticket checkpoint. For the detailed route map, see P4. ✅ Route 1️⃣ 🚇 Exit B of Tiananmen East Station - Enter through the East Gate of the Working People's Cultural Palace (Tai Temple) - Exit from the West Gate - Directly reach the Meridian Gate (Forbidden City ticket checkpoint) ✅ Route 2️⃣ 🚖 Go to Donghuamen - Walk along the Donghuamen East Road under the city wall until you reach the Meridian Gate (Forbidden City ticket checkpoint)BRADY UNDERWOOD

Resemblance of powerIn all around history, emperors have projected their supremacy by using secrecy and majesty of their living place. Such magnificent is the Palace museum (故宫). One day would not be enough to visit the whole of the museum. The whole place covers Beihai park, Jingshan park and the museum. It has a complex structure with 999 buildings (although I didn't count 😝) , which signifies the immortality of the emperor; as 1000 is for God. It is perfectly built that it lies in straight line starting from Tiananmen square until the Bell and Drum tower 🗼. Also inside it has the Shamanist elements like Phoenix, turtle 🐢 and lion 🦁 . It is also worth to buy the audio tour guide inside for just 10 rmb. A must visit if you are new to China and Beijing. #culturetrip #palace #beijingtrip#urbanexplorerAaru 裴儒14

The place is packed of tourists local and foreigners, I am highly suggesting to book your tickets ahead of time as there will be no walk-ins allowed. This marks one of the authentic cultures China has.. Reasons to Recommend: Cultural Insight
The Forbidden City, the world's largest imperial palace, offers an enriching yet demanding experience for visitors.To make the most of your visit, assess your timeconstraints and physical endurance, as the vast complex encompasses numerous buildings. Prioritize key attractions and consider skipping less significant sites if needed. I have put together the perfect guide for you.Best time to visit and what to avoid:i1. The best time to visit the Forbidden City is from mid-October to late November due to comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds.2. It's always more crowded during weekends and Chinese public holidays.3. To avoid crowds, arrive at the 8:30 am opening time or after 2 pm, or visit during the winter low season.4. Try to avoid the central axis, which is often crowded with large Chinese tour groups.
OMG what a fabulous experience. The royalty and charm can be felt in this unique palace. Certainly, you will want to be leisurely with your time. Take-in all of the wonderful sights with this timeline guide: ➡️Arrive as early as you can to get a good spot in line. Have your ID cards ready to pick up your ticket. ➡️Pack lightly so you can enjoy the walking areas. The morning is best for photos with golden light. Bring your traditional costume to enchant the space. 🤭
The story of the imperial city, Yue, is very professional. Let me and my friend cross the Ming and Qing periods from now on. Let us understand that there is a big gap between TV drama and history. Guide Yue's explanation has a shallow and deep, vivid and interesting way. Let us feel the historical and cultural heritage and value of the Forbidden City. A lot of historical knowledge has been harvested. This trip to the Forbidden City was very happy. Five-star praise [screaming teeth] You deserve it! recommend! recommend! recommend!
The first time I went to Beijing to travel, of course I went to the Forbidden City Museum! ! ! So I booked a local travel agency and explained the whole process. It was really great. The lecturer who led us was a lecturer in Jingzhuangyuanlin. He knew the Forbidden City like his palm. When he asked questions, he could answer them and learn a lot of historical knowledge. The Forbidden City is quite majestic. Next time I come or recommend it to a friend, I will still find a lecturer in Jing Zhuangyuanlin.
Xiucai said that Qi Dao contacted us one day in advance to meet the time and place. The explanation of the Forbidden City the next day was very meticulous, caring, there were many children in the group, the history stories and traditional culture were particularly wonderful, and it took more than 3 hours without knowing it. It is highly recommended.
Xiucai said that Li guide took us to visit the Forbidden City in a limited time. It was a very enterprising experience. From the initial worry, I met the boring and rigid guide. I didn't expect to listen to Li guide's explanation. It seems to have an immersive feeling. It is worth recommending. Five-star ⭐ praise!
A place of interest and monument very suitable for bringing children, hehehe, the second time I brought my brother. I have been here twice in total, and I haven’t seen it every time. I still have to work out and work hard to strengthen my strength. I will look at it carefully for the next four hours. Come on.
