    Exploring the Forbidden City is more than visiting a palace — it is stepping into a six-hundred-year-old center of power, order, and civilization. Along the central axis, red walls and golden roofs reveal stories of imperial authority, daily life, and the rituals that shaped an empire. From the grand ceremonial halls to the private residences of emperors and empresses, every space reflects balance, hierarchy, and human ambition. With professional interpretation, the architecture comes alive, history gains meaning, and the Forbidden City becomes not just a landmark, but a living record of Chinese civilization.

    Mutianyu Great Wall

    Walking on the Mutianyu Great Wall is not simply a visit, but an encounter with history stretching across the mountains. Originally rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty under the supervision of General Qi Jiguang, this section is known for its strong structure and exceptional preservation. The wall rises and falls with the ridgelines, watchtowers standing in quiet rhythm. As you walk along the stone path, you can feel the careful balance between defense, terrain, and design — a powerful example of ancient military engineering. Here, surrounded by mountains and open skies, the Great Wall feels calm and timeless. Step by step, it becomes clear why this monument is not only a landmark, but a lasting symbol of China’s strength and resilience.
