With a knowledgeable guide and comfortable shoes you can concentrate on the amazing civilization of the past.
Beijing is home to some of the most intriguing destinations in the world and many put the Forbidden City on the top of that list. Designed as a monument to the 24 emperors who dictated from its halls for close to 500 years, this emblematic beacon of Chinese culture is a can't miss stop during your time in this historic city.
Make sure to look for the symbology in the design of the complex's endless buildings. With yellow being the color of the Emperor you will notice that almost all the roofs are covered in yellow tiles. Notice how the main halls and courts are situated in groups of three or the shape of the Qian triagram which represents Heaven. Look for the number of statuettes that line up on the sloping roofs to get an initial understanding of the building's importance. Your guide will point out many more!
