The largest palace complex in the world, the Forbidden City is the be-all and end-all of
dynastic grandeur, with imposing halls, splendid gates and age-old relics. No other place in
Běijīng teems with so much history, legend and imperial intrigue. You could spend hours
wandering its vast squares and high-walled passageways, which lead to delightful court-
yards, gardens and minimuseums, and give you plenty of time to contemplate the enormity
of shuffling your way around the place that 24 consecutive emperors of China called home.
