Do you want to go to the Forbidden City or Universal Studios before going to Beijing?

Considering the itinerary, mode of transportation and accommodation, you can choose to go to the Forbidden City or Universal Studios first according to your personal preferences and time schedule.

1. Itinerary: If you like culture, history and art, and want to know more about the history and cultural connotation of the ancient imperial palace in China, then the Forbidden City may be more suitable for you. If you like theme parks and amusement facilities, then Universal Studios may be more suitable for you. However, if your time is limited, I suggest you make a choice according to your preferences and schedule.

2. Transportation: It takes some time to get from downtown to the Forbidden City and Universal Studios. You can choose which scenic spot to go to first according to your location and the convenience of transportation. If you live in the city center, you can consider going to a nearby scenic spot before going to another scenic spot.

3. Accommodation: If you want to live near the center of Beijing, you can consider going to the Forbidden City first and staying in a hotel near the center of Beijing at night. If you want to live near Universal Studios, you can consider going to Universal Studios first and then staying in a nearby hotel. Please note, however, that if you plan to spend the whole day in Universal Studios, I suggest you book a hotel in advance in case you can't come back at night.

Generally speaking, going to the Forbidden City or Universal Studios first depends on your itinerary, mode of transportation and accommodation needs. I suggest you plan your trip in advance and make a choice according to your own needs.
