Step into the magnificent Forbidden City (Palace Museum), the world’s ultimate imperial palace. Through its 500 years as the power center from 1420 to 1911 AD, 24 emperors across the Ming and Qing Dynasties successively ruled here, witnessing the rise, peak, and fatal fall of the empire. Navigating its legendary 9,999 rooms can be overwhelming, but our expert-led, fast-track route ensures you smoothly experience the absolute highlights without missing a beat. Note: For Monday departures when the Forbidden City is closed, we’ll pivot to explore the Summer Palace, the emperor’s lakeside retreat.
