For five centuries, the Forbidden City was the reclusive heart of the Chinese Empire, home to 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Behind its massive walls lie 9,999 rooms of unparalleled artistry, from the grand Hall of Supreme Harmony to the intimate Inner Courts. Our private tours offer an expert-led narrative through its rigid symmetry, revealing the hidden symbolism of its dragon-carved marble and the secretive lives of the imperial family. It is a walk through the very center of the “Middle Kingdom.”
