The complex is made up of thee main collections of buildings surrounded plenty of beautiful parkland. Continue your visit to Beijing’s vast Tian’anmen Square, mesmerising and the Forbidden City.Deep in the heart of ancient Chinese history, Beijing has enjoyed its position as the capital city of China for more than 800 years. Dynamic, dramatic and mysterious, Beijing is also the gateway to the nation’s educational, cultural and political sectors, with many large Chinese companies having their headquarters here.
Beijing is a fascinating contrast between the ancient and opulent, and the heavy hand of modern infrastructure is evident everywhere. Huge stone walls, ostentatious palaces and temples tell stories of ancient imperial grandeur that will truly take your breath away.

Finally you will continue to the Forbidden City whcih was once the Chinese Imperial Palace of the Ming Dynasty, and for more than 500 years it was home to some 24 Emperors.

As the city was a sacred place which completely forbid any civilians to enter, it was enclosed by a 10m high wall, complete with a watch tower at each corner, and was heavily guarded in its time.
