Forbidden City & Treasure Gallery Walking Tour

故宫 & 珍宝馆半日游

  • Half day
  • 4 hours
  • Daily departures
  • English · Russian guides

Overview

What this day is

The same palace and the same Treasure Gallery as our square-and-palace half day, but stripped to the walking portion and started closer to the gates. Choose this one if you have already seen Tian'anmen Square, if you are short on time, or if you simply prefer a smaller group moving at walking pace. Two start times make it easy to pair with a Great Wall day either side.
