It once served as the residence and political center for 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. You will spend several hours exploring the iconic highlights of this magnificent landmark with your professional guide.
After the Forbidden City visit, you will have one hour for lunch at your own expense at a local restaurant near the Mutianyu Great Wall area.
