Forbidden City
Best time to visit
Go at opening time to catch lower crowds and gentler morning light. Late autumn and winter usually offer clearer skies and fewer visitors than summer.
Budget tips
Standard admission is about 60 CNY in peak season (Apr–Oct) and 40 CNY off-peak (Nov–Mar), buy timed tickets online in advance to avoid queues and sellouts. Skip extra paid temporary exhibitions if short on time to save money.

About
Γρήγορα στοιχεία: 穿过朱红的门扉，青石板会把脚步声放大成节奏，让人忍不住放慢脚步，像在听一个老城的低语。金色琉璃瓦在阳光里闪出细碎的光点，整个院落占地约72万平方米，保存着约980座建筑和8,704间房，光是规模就让人感到压倒性的庄重。
Κύρια σημεία: 沿着中轴线走，你会发现屋脊上的装饰兽和梁柱彩画里反复出现数字“九”和“五”，它们并非装饰，而是按等级把每一处细节划成不同身份的语言。 在御花园的一堵九龙壁上可以数到整整九条龙，每条龙的表情和姿势都不一样，阳光下釉色能从翠绿到深蓝变化，近看还能闻到岁月里的灰尘和木头油香。
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, expect long walks on stone steps and uneven surfaces.
- Enter via the Meridian Gate and head straight to the Hall of Supreme Harmony before midday crowds build.
- Climb the smaller north staircases for classic roofline photos of the central axis, avoid the busiest platforms for clearer shots.
- Skip the souvenir stalls near the exit if short on time and use minutes saved to explore quieter eastern courtyards.
