Tian’an Men Square and the Forbidden City Area ❮❮ 69

Tian’an Men Square and 3
Forbidden City
The Forbidden City is
the Forbidden City Area Beijing’s top “must-see” sight.
A seemingly endless collection
of pavilions, gates, courts, and
gardens, this majestic complex
encompasses five centuries of
colorful – and occasionally lurid –
imperial history. Until the mid-
1900s, only members of the
imperial court were allowed
inside – hence the name. Trying
to see everything in one go will
bring on a severe case of Ming
fatigue, and it is highly recom-
mended that you tackle this
wonderful palace over at least
two separate visits (see pp12–15). Bronze lion at the Forbidden City
