Excursions

Join the expertly guided morning tour and step into the heart of Chinese imperial history. Explore one of the world's most iconic and well-preserved palaces — a UNESCO World Heritage Site first constructed between 1406 and 1420. Serving as the political and ceremonial center for 24 emperors across the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1636–1912) dynasties, it stood witness to over 500 years of imperial glory. This immersive experience is designed to reveal the majesty, artistry, and fascinating stories embedded in its ancient halls and courtyards.

Step through the towering Meridian Gate and enter a world preserved in time. Follow the grand central axis, understanding the profound symbolism behind the "Outer Court" for solemn ceremonies and the "Inner Court" for imperial domestic life. Explore iconic structures like the Hall of Supreme Harmony, discover the intricacies of the palace quarters, and find tranquility within the beautiful Imperial Garden. Every glazed tile, marble sculpture, and mythical roof figurine narrates a tale from six centuries of power, artistry, and royal drama—stories of emperors who ruled, conspired, and witnessed the very transition of dynasties. Here, you don't just visit a palace; you walk the path of China's last emperor, tracing the final chapter of imperial history within the walls where it quietly closed.
