Tour: Forbidden City & Tiananmen Square

Morning: Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City Begin your day with a visit to Tiananmen Square, an awe-inspiring public plaza spanning an incredible 440,000 square meters (over 109 acres). As you walk its length, marvel at the monuments that define this historic space, including the Mausoleum of Chairman Mao (exterior). The square's northern gate, adorned with a portrait of Mao Zedong, marks the entrance to your next destination: the Forbidden City. Step into the Forbidden City: Walking in the Footsteps of Emperors Cross the threshold into the Forbidden City, a sprawling imperial complex completed in 1420. For over 500 years, it served as the home of 24 emperors, their families, and an extensive entourage, including 3,000 eunuchs and countless maids and concubines. The complex, reputed to contain 9,999 rooms, is a masterpiece of classical Chinese architecture, spanning 170 acres. As you explore its grand halls, ornate courtyards, and intricately designed structures, imagine the lives of those who once roamed these spaces, forbidden to commoners for centuries.
