What to expect

  1. Forbidden City Tour
    Admission ticket included
    Secure your Forbidden City entry and explore at your own pace with a link-based audio guide in 6 languages :CN, EN, JP, KR, RU, IT. Pick a 1-2/3-4/6-8-hour route and follow a simple map-no app needed.
    We handle the mandatory 7-day Forbidden City pre-booking for you.
    Visit Beijing’s Forbidden City with less hassle and far more context. This product combines (1) an entry reservation service for the Palace Museum and (2) a link-based audio guide in 6 languages, designed for travelers who want freedom—not a rushed group tour.

    After booking, you’ll receive a message with your entry information plus a link to the audio guide. Open it on any phone browser (no app). Choose the pace that fits your day:
    • Express Route (≈120 min): the must-sees along the central axis
    • In-Depth Route (≈200 min): architecture, power struggles, daily life
    • Museum-Lover Route (≈6 hours ): extra stops and quieter corners
    Pair this with the Jingshan Park audio guide for a sunset view of the Forbidden City rooftops.
