After a visit to Tian’anmen Square, I passed through the main entrance to the Forbidden City. It was very crowded but they did a great job moving people through the process. What amazed me most, other than the incredible size of the structures and land area is the amazing restorations of all of the buildings. The Palace grounds in the Forbidden City was a great visit for me due to its historical significance. You need at least 4 hours to visit this amazing place. I was in a hurry so I stayed here for only 2 hours.
I paid 40 RMB for the entrance fee. Make sure you come here early as it is open only until 4:30 PM.
TIP: As a non-Chinese visitor, I strongly recommend that you use a private guide for this attraction as he/she will explain the history to you and give you a real in-depth view of the Forbidden City.
Thank you. Great job.
