You can’t go to Beijing without visiting the Forbidden City, the former home of Chinese emperors, just like you would any European cities and visit the palaces there. This place is HUGE (if you think you’re at the entrance and ticket booth keep going you’re probably not there yet) and takes at the very least half a day. Get informed of the place by reading the signs or doing an audio tour to get the context and what each of the different rooms are used for. I highly recommend visiting the clock collection too! #history #art #architecture #qingdynasty #mingdynasty
