Why it matters
The Forbidden City is not just a famous attraction. It is the symbolic heart of imperial Beijing and a scale-resetter for many first-time visitors.
The site is huge enough that poor pacing turns it into a slog.
How to visit it well
Enter early, pair it with Tiananmen or Jingshan, and avoid loading too many other heavyweight attractions into the same day.
