Forbidden City-The Palace Museum

Thereafter, you’ll continue into the Forbidden City shrouded with mysteries. During the walking tour, you may feel confused about the special designs and totems of the palace, especially the cultural meaning behind them.   Why there are 9 sculptures of mythical animals on the roof ridge of Hall of Supreme Harmony but not 8 or 10; why there are 9999.5 but not 10000 rooms in the palace; Why the eyes and ears of the stone lions in front of the Palace of Tranquility and Longevity blocked…   With the historical knowledge from your guide, you will gradually uncover these cultural secrets and explore a more different Forbidden City you’ve ever heard about.

Fantastic tour guide

Published on Dec, 2024

We did the tour with Leo's private tour and Jenny was our tour guide. She was very engaging and knowledgeable and explained the history very well in perfect English. We really enjoyed the tour and highly recommend our tour guide Jenny.
