Having
been the imperial palace for some five centuries, Forbidden City houses
numerous rare treasures and curiosities. Listed by UNESCO as a World
Cultural Heritage Site in 1987, Forbidden City is now one of the most
popular tourist
attractions worldwide. Nowadays, the Forbidden City, or the Palace Museum
is open to tourists from home and abroad. Splendid painted decoration
on these royal architectural wonders, the grand and deluxe halls, with
their surprisingly magnificent treasures will certainly satisfy "modern
civilians".
Now the
admission to the Forbidden City is 60 RMB.
