Introduction to the Forbidden City:

1. The Forbidden City is very big, with more than 9,000 palaces. It is almost impossible to visit all the places in one day. Generally, tourists only visit the three main halls, the last three palaces and the imperial garden, which can be visited in half a day from south to north. Visitors who have more time can go around the palaces on the east and west roads and watch the rare treasures on display more carefully.

All tourists can only enter through the "noon gate" near Tiananmen Square, and other doors can only be closed.

3. In the exhibition halls such as Treasure Hall, Watch Hall, Painting and Calligraphy Hall, volunteers provide free explanations in Chinese and English.

There is no special parking lot in the Forbidden City. The nearest public parking lot is outside Donghuamen, Jingshan Back Street and Beihai South Gate, with limited parking spaces. The audience is advised to choose public transport.
