Introduction
A vast majority of tourists who visit Beijing for the first time consider the Forbidden City as 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 centre, you can still feel its former glory once you are within the courtyard and surrounded by the high walls. Its long history has left behind a large amount of precious architecture and cultural relics, making it one of the most important cultural heritage in modern China.

Today's weather is superb, in addition to the wind is a little hot, innocent blue. Guide Li is still quite serious, the explanation is very meticulous, the overall experience is very good, thank you for the guide ～ overall, great, cost-effective, fun and fun,
It was an honor to visit the Forbidden City during the Labor Day holiday. We visited the Forbidden City with a wonderful tour guide, Qing. We learned so much about the history of this phenomenal historical masterpiece, which was the residence of powerful Emperors of China. It is truly a breathtaking site with the most beautiful gardens, ancient relics and a peek inside of ancient China.
great visit, very cheap to visit and great days adventure 👌
When you’re traveling in China, it’s best to keep at a low pace. There is so much greatness to see and experience. You need to take a little bit of time to enjoy in the moment. It doesn’t all have to be photographed. Some experiences need to be lived and felt in the present. Photography gives content. Life gives content and context. We always remember the context and like to share it too.
1) you probably need a guide to understand what’s going on because palaces are not allowed to enter. So it’s unclear what’s the purpose of the building you are looking at.2) it’s better to come earlier because You have to survive 3 queues to get inside.3) There’s lots to see and explore. With museums and Jingshan park It might take a whole day. So don’t plan Summer palace or the Great Wall on the same day.4) All in all it’s a nice place to see.
