Visit Beijing and see the beauty and grandeur of the Imperial Palace.

The Forbidden City is located within a 9-meter-high wall, enclosing all four sides in a rectangular shape, 1 km wide and 1.5 km long on the sides, and is surrounded by a moat. Inside the palace is divided into 2 parts: the “Front Palace”, which is the area where the emperor conducts government affairs, and the “Inner Palace”, which is the area of ​​the concubines, consisting of palaces, throne halls, audience halls, and many gardens. In the past, this palace did not allow outsiders to enter, so it was called the Forbidden Palace. Until the change of government to the republic, it was opened to tourists to visit the beauty and grandeur of this palace in the form of the Palace Museum since 1949. #Forbidden Palace #China #chinatravel #beijing #beijingtrip How to get there - airplane Tourist attractions - Beijing, China

Step into Imperial Grandeur at The Palace Museum 🌟🏯 Discover the heart of ancient China at the Palace Museum (Forbidden City)—a sprawling royal complex that’s both jaw-dropping and full of secrets! Sure, crowds flock here, but its majestic halls and intricate art easily make up for it. 🗺️ Recommended Route: Enter through the Meridian Gate, then follow the central axis: Hall of Supreme Harmony → Hall of Central Harmony → Hall of Preserving Harmony. This hits all the architectural highlights! Circle out to the east and west wings after, for quieter corners and rare artifacts. 💡 Must-Do Experiences: Stand in the vast courtyard to absorb the scale, peek into select treasury halls, and spot the quirky nine-dragon screen. Don’t skip the Imperial Garden near the exit—a peaceful wrap-up to the royal tour. 📸 Top Photo Spots: Snap the classic panoramic shot just inside the main gate. Portraits across golden roofs with the inner halls behind are insta-worthy! The intricate doorways and stone bridges provide more unique angles away from the main crowd. 🎫 Practical Tips: Open Tuesday-Sunday; closed Mondays. Apr–Oct: 08:30–17:00 (last entry 16:00), Nov–Mar: 08:30–16:30 (last entry 15:30). Admission ¥60. Buy tickets online in advance—walk-ins sell out fast especially in peak season. Arrive early to beat the rush and enjoy a more relaxed pace. ⚠️ Key Precautions: Super crowded—expect strong selfie stick action! Comfortable shoes are a must, as it’s a huge area. Stay hydrated and watch your step on older stone walkways. #Beijing #PalaceMuseum #History #ChinaTravel #CulturalAdventure
