The Forbidden City

Gugong, also known as the Forbidden City, located in the center of Beijing, China, is the royal palace of China during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and one of the largest and best-preserved ancient wooden architectural complexes in the world. The palace complex was built in 1406, and served as the imperial palace for twenty-four emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties until 1925, when the Forbidden City Museum was officially established and opened to the public. The Forbidden City covers an area of about 720,000 square meters, with a floor area of about 150,000 square meters, has more than seventy palaces of various sizes, and the number of rooms is measured to be 8,707.

The Forbidden City is not only a palace, but also the epitome of China's 5,000 years of civilization. It carries rich historical and cultural information and is an important window to understand ancient Chinese politics, economy, culture and art. Here, visitors can enjoy the exquisite ancient architecture, precious collections of cultural relics and the rich display of palace culture.

Wonderful!

I am a trekking enthusiast, this is my first time in China, the consultant from the travel agency recommended the Sichuan Cultural Hiking Tour to me, the scenery is just so beautiful and stunning. I can't put into words the magnificence of Jiuzhaigou, it's very bright and colorful and relaxes you without you even realizing it!

Nice trip

Thanks to the consultant of the travel agency for organizing this 17 days trip to China for me and my family to have a perfect holiday! God Bless! We went to five cities in China this time and also took a luxury cruise, the trip was very safe and the tour guide was very responsible and whenever we had a problem, we just needed to give a call to solve it! More than the reassuring service, the scenery in China was amazing, tall buildings, temples, palaces, lakes, the different landscapes were so stunning! Thanks to the travel agent! Praise God!
