  1. Forbidden City Music Hall
    Admission ticket included
    As the world's largest imperial palace complex and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Forbidden City has become a must-visit landmark for travelers exploring Beijing's 600-year royal history and Chinese imperial architecture.

    At the Forbidden City, step through the magnificent Meridian Gate and walk the same path once reserved for emperors. Marvel at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the grandest wooden structure in China, where emperors held their most important ceremonies. Explore the Hall of Central Harmony and the Hall of Preserving Harmony, then wander the inner courts where emperors, empresses, and concubines once lived. Discover the Imperial Garden with its ancient cypresses and rockeries, and visit the Treasure Gallery and Clock Gallery to see rare royal artifacts up close.
