Xichang'an St

Description:
Even if you are in Beijing for only one day, you should not miss the Forbidden City. So called because it was out of bounds to all but the emperor and his court for 500 years, the imperial places are set among a huge complex of largely wooden palaces that housed 24 emperors. With stunning architecture and historical motifs from the Qing and Ming dynasties, the Forbidden City is your one-stop guide to Chinese history. Guided tours are available and well worth it. Leave plenty of time and be prepared for a good walk as you browse through this wonderful 200-acre site.
