Best Forbidden City Tours & Trips

The Forbidden City is one of the top attractions in China, the world's largest imperial palace complex. Built from 1406 to 1420, it housed 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties until 1924. Nowadays, it is managed by the Palace Museum and contains many artifacts and artworks. Surrounded by massive walls and a wide moat, the Forbidden City encompasses over 180 acres and contains more than 900 preserved buildings. The Forbidden City tour takes you to the essence of traditional Chinese palace architecture and the preciousness of the royal collections. The nearby Tiananmen Square and Temple of Heaven are also well worth a visit.

11-Day China Adventure Group Tour from Beijing to Shanghai: Xi’an and Guilin | Forbidden City, Great Wall, the Bund and Li River

Perfect first trip to China!

Forbidden City felt historic, Bird's Nest was cool. Guilin cruise was so chill, Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai was peaceful. Guides spoke great English, hotels were comfy—10/10!
