Description

Join a history student passionate about Chinese culture, for an unforgettable journey through the Forbidden City. Discover hidden stories and imperial secrets while exploring this magnificent palace.
As a history student specializing in Chinese imperial studies, I'm thrilled to share my passion and knowledge with you. Having spent countless hours researching in university libraries and visiting the Forbidden City for my thesis on Qing dynasty court life, I've developed a unique perspective that blends academic rigor with personal fascination. Our journey begins at the Meridian Gate, where I'll explain how this entrance witnessed the power transitions between dynasties - something I recently studied in my Ming-Qing history course. As we walk through the Three Great Halls, I'll share fascinating details about imperial examinations and court rituals that I've discovered through my research. What makes my tour special is that I can relate these historical events to modern life, making them more accessible to international visitors. In the Inner Court, I'll point out architectural details that even regular guides might miss, like the subtle differences in rooftop decorations that indicate the rank and purpose of each building - knowledge gained from my architecture history seminars. We'll conclude in the Imperial Garden, where I'll share stories about imperial family life that I've translated from ancient texts for my research projects. This isn't just a tour - it's like walking through history with your knowledgeable university friend who's genuinely excited to share these amazing stories with you.
