Forbidden City

The 10 Most Haunted Places in Asia

"This vast imperial palace complex, home to Chinese emperors for five centuries, is steeped in history and mystery; it is typically closed at night, which adds to its mystique. Among the most persistent tales is that of a ghostly woman in white whose cries were reportedly heard inside the palace as early as the 1940s, a legend that contributes to its spooky allure for visitors and historians alike." - Alison Fox Alison Fox Alison Fox is a Travel + Leisure contributor.
