    Imperial grandeur
    Although the Forbidden City is massive, some entered to spend the majority of their remaining life inside the outer walls without being allowed to leave. I like looking at the underside of ceilings, beautiful craftsmanship, and the wonder of magnificent colorsThe Forbidden City is a vast structure, and some individuals were once forced to live within its outer walls for the rest of their lives without ever being allowed to leave. Personally, I enjoy admiring the intricate details on the underside of ceilings, which showcase beautiful craftsmanship and a magnificent array of colors..

    A must-see in China!!!
    Inside the Forbiddedn city is like entering a treasure chest of Chinese art. From sculptures to luxurious silks, to even a 47 foot long yuan dynasty fresco. The palaace is a must-see for anyone who is interested in hinese history, art, and architecture. It offers a glimpse into the heart of China's past.

    A Must See
    Make sure to book tickets in advance. A truly stunning place to visit with so much history you really appreciate a knowledgeable guide. There is a lot of walking as it covers a huge area, so water and good foot ware essential. One entrance and one exit you keep moving forward through the complex. This has to be on your must do list in Beijing.

    Busy, but an interesting place to see. Be aware of scammers though especially near the queue areas.
    An interesting place to visit if you can be patient when surrounded by thousands of people who are rushing and pushing about. The architecture is beautiful, and there are notice boards in Chinese and English explaining what certain palaces and areas were used for. My daughter got a audio tour which cut out after 20 minutes, so I wouldn't bother with this service. Also I agree with the comments on scam tour guides. DO NOT pay some random person money to get you in quickly, but DO find a reputable travel guide service and go with a group or private tour as you MUST buy tickets before hand. We bought our tickets at 5pm, 7 days before our visit and all the morning session tickets had gone and there was limited late session tickets left. This had to be done via WeChat too, so unless you read Chinese, use a guide service. I see a lot of reviews complaining about the local tourists, but this is China, this is what its like. We queued for over 1 and a half hours and went through 3 passport and bag search checkpoints before we even got into Tiananmen Square, and more queuing to get into The Forbidden City. Security in Beijing is crazy, its like going through an airport to get in everywhere, but you have to just be patient and when in the sites, if you need to bump through a crowd to see an exhibit or take a picture, just do it.

    Great place for one and a half million people in China
    We pre-issued permission on the website of the imperial palace (from 1 to 7 days before the visit), received a code for paying in cash at the ticket office before the turnstiles. The cost before April 1 is 40Y, after - 60Y. Those aged 60 or over receive a 50% discount. A huge territory, many Chinese, many dressed in national costumes. You can take an audio guide in your native language - 20Y. Prepare for a long visit; you won’t be able to complete it in an hour; somewhere you need three hours. It is better to look at the information about gates and halls in advance. Great, in general, everything is solemn.

    Beautiful, spectacular and must visit if you are in Beijing
    Spectacular! The Forbidden city is massive, beautiful with lots of characters. There are many different area so it could easily taken up a day when visiting. It is extremely difficult to get the entrance ticket and even the locals need to queue for up to a month. We used trip.com and the dedicated agent has helped us to purchase the tickets successfully. The jewel exhibition is a must see though you need to pay extra for it. Tips Go a bit earlier for security check, it will take a long time as the Forbidden city is always full. Always bring your passport along as the security will check your tickets against your passport.

    A Palace of Splendor
    A magnificent splendor. You will need more than one visit and it is near impossible to buy tickets without WeChat account. So, perhaps the government need to look into this. Be prepared to walk a lot and different season will give you a different feel and view of what life might have been in this grand palace. Take your time to enjoy every little corner as it all holds a fragment of history,

    Beautiful place, difficult to find tickets
    Booking the visit to the forbidden city was an excellent choice. We did this through Trip Advisor with Mubus and it was a fantastic choice! We saved time and effort in purchasing tickets, which immediately sold out on the official website. The sale usually starts at 2pm Italian time, 8 days before the desired date. I tried for various dates, with tickets sold out after just 2 minutes from the opening of the sale. I would therefore certainly recommend the guided tour: our guide Claire in fact told us the history and anecdotes of this place, stopping at interesting places and also advising us on the best spots for taking photos. The explanations were detailed but at the same time easy to follow. The drive lasted 4 hours and Claire stayed with us all the way to the Royal Treasury Museum (visited quickly, but with the option to return later on our own at the end of the guided tour). In conclusion, I recommend booking a visit, also to be sure of having tickets.

    hello my fellows, Beijing is a city full of charm. June is warm and breezy, making people comfortable to have citywalk. The Forbidden City, Tian 'anmen Squre and the Great Wall are must-experiences. I was born and raised here, so if you need a short-term English guide to enrich your travel experience, please contact me.
