Description

Begin your morning near Tiananmen Square, where your guide will give a brief introduction to the Ming and Qing dynasties before you enter the Forbidden City — the world’s largest and best-preserved palace complex. Before entering the palace, visit a local Qing-style costume studio and choose from an array of luxurious silk robes once worn by emperors, empresses, and nobles. With the help of professional stylists, transform yourself into a figure straight out of history. You can select from a variety of costume styles, including the Emperor, Empress, Concubine, or Imperial Guard. Continue your exploration of the Forbidden City in your elegant attire, walking through symbolic sites such as the Meridian Gate, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the Imperial Garden. Along the way, your guide will reveal stories of imperial life, hidden rituals, and the daily routines of emperors. Your guide will also help you capture stunning photos in the most picturesque palace courtyards — perfect memories of your “royal day in Beijing.” After the tour, you’ll have the option to enjoy a traditional Beijing snack nearby or visit a photo studio for printed keepsakes.
