It was an imperial palace for Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911). During the period there were 24 emperors and their families. Now it's a public museum. It is famous as one of world five palaces and one of World Heritages. There you can see Chinese ... ...your payment back. Forbidden City also has Mandarin and English tourist speakers at some important sites. Better to ask the time and you would not miss it if you want. Compared to Tower of London, it is bigger a lot. There is a very small tea room. So better to dress comfortably and take some water with you. Personally, I think 4 hours of visit is reasonable. Best time to visit is in May, Sep and Oct. Price: 60 RMB or 40 RMB (winter time) must see ...

One interest thing is I find a starbucks in the imperial palace, it is not very good though, it break the whole environment at all.

It is a vast area to visit and you would need at least 2 hours to be able to appreciate it for what it is. When i visited it in June i was blown away by the size and complexity of the buildings within, they are just stunning to look at. There is a small charge to get into it, but is no more than a few pounds per person. The ...
