    Forbidden City-The Palace Museum

    Step inside the Forbidden City — but don’t just see it, understand it. As a native Beijinger, I’ll guide you through the palace like a local historian, sharing the real stories behind the golden roofs, ancient thrones, and dazzling royal treasures. You’ll hear tales of emperors, concubines, political power struggles, and family drama — all right where they happened.
