  • The Palace Museum
    For nearly 500 years, the Forbidden City was the epicenter of Chinese power—a magnificent palace complex that housed 24 emperors from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Beyond its stunning architecture and world-class art collection lie stories of imperial intrigue, secret love affairs, and political schemes waiting to be uncovered. On this specially designed walking tour, you won’t just see the sights—you’ll step into the hidden world of emperors and concubines. Your expert guide will bring history to life as you explore carefully chosen halls and courtyards, sharing dramatic tales rarely heard outside these crimson walls. The 2-kilometer route is thoughtfully planned to be gentle and engaging—perfect for all ages—and ensures you experience the soul of the Forbidden City, not just the stones.
