Forbidden Palace, Beijing
The Forbidden Palace is located in the heart of Beijing, and is located directly north of Tiananmen Square. The complex is open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. We are on a tour package so for DIY travellers, book your tickets in advance via Klook.
Forbidden City is a 178 acre, UNESCO-listed imperial palace, and is the world's largest preserved wooden structure complex, featuring over 9999 rooms and traditional Chinese architecture. It is also among the top five buildings in the world alongside The Buckingham Palace, the Kremlin Palace in Russia, The White House in America and The Versailles Palace in France
How to get to the Forbidden Palace?
Entry is only allowed at the Meridian Gate, the South gate of the museum.
Take the buses with numbers 1, 2, 52, 82 and 120 and get off at Tiananmen Station.
Or take a subway line 1 and get off at Tiananmen Station (East or West), walk at around 500 meters and walk north of the Meridian Gate.
Ticket prices are CNY60 from April to October and CNY 40 from November to March. From 7 to 18 years old, the price of the ticket is CNY20. They only allow a maximum of 40,000 visitors per day.

Lunch was a highlight—we found a fantastic hotpot restaurant just outside the Forbidden City.
