The Palace Museum

Must, must visit place in Beijing. Very very big area. You should plan for one day tour here. If you are in a hurry, difficult to see all. Just run and take pictures. So, many buildings, so nice environment, so many colorful trees. Local people taking pictures in ancient Chinese dress - that looks great. Museum of clock- I have given some pictures. Museum of treasure - I have given some pictures. If you feel tired on your way, sit down, take rest. Better to bring your food during visit - if you are not local. Thanks at last

This is the largest palace in the world, no doubt. The construction is gigantic and vast and filled with thousands of visitors each day. You can be lost from your group easily since it’s like a labyrinth. Most of the buildings are replicas because original constructions were damaged as time went on and historic incidents.

Massive and impressive, definitely worth it! So much to see and so much history. We booked a guided tour and it made a huge difference. Our guide was knowledgeable and helped us understand the history behind everything. The place is HUGE, we walked a lot so wear good shoes! As foreigners, we were able to buy tickets by walking in, no issues. Absolutely a must-see if you’re in Beijing. NOTE* You MUST bring your passport to buy tickets on the spot at the Meridian Gate ticket window and they also check it at the entrance

Very interesting historic place. It tells the Royal history of the Chinese for about five centuries. The architectural structure is wonderful and are well preserved. It is advisable to be prepared for a long walk as the museum is vast.

Too crowded , many buildings are off limit for visitors, so , can just see the exterior walls which appeared all similar. Some buildings which are partially open will require purchase of additional tickets . Just a remark : most of the valuable items are actually in Taipei .

Amazing experience and great management if all your papers are in order. The place is very well preserved and the energy in the youth to visit this place and take photos in royal outfits is too high. I had a great experience visiting this place. It would help immensely of you have someone local to take you around the place as you may forget your way around it.

If you are in Beijing, this place is a must visit. Make sure to book tickets at least a week in advance. You need a good 6-8 hrs to see the whole place properly. So be prepared to spend most of one day there.

Definitely on the Must watch list. Prepare at least a whole day for this. The Chinese government has very friendly policy to foreigners, which is you can purchase the same day tickets at the gate. My kids love here.
