Guide the Palace Museum

The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum, and now a museum for collections of Chinese cultural relics.

The palace complex exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere. There are over a million rare and valuable works of art in the permanent collection of the Palace Museum, including paintings, ceramics, seals, steles, sculptures, inscribed wares, bronze wares, enamel objects, etc.

The National Palace Museum is a great museum and very large, if you do not have enough time, then chooses the most appropriate line. If only half a day, it would be best to follow the middle of the main road. This axis is also the most tourists will choose the tour route.
