Meeting Your Guide
Meet at Donghuamen (East Flow Gate) – exact location after booking. Your guide sends a personal selfie via WhatsApp/email the day before, so you know who to look for. No sign. Walk together to Meridian Gate (Wumen) for ticket-check entry with your pre-booked tickets. Guide assists the whole process.
Walking the Central Axis
Step onto the central axis, reserved for emperors. Visit three halls:
Hall of Supreme Harmony – Grand ceremonies, enthronements, weddings.
Hall of Central Harmony – Emperor's rest and preparation area.
Hall of Preserving Harmony – Imperial banquets and civil service exam finals.
Your guide shares details: mythical rooftop creatures (nine sons of dragon), bronze cauldrons, and the 600-year-old drainage system that still prevents flooding.
The Dazzling Treasure Gallery

Imperial jewels – Crowns, hairpins, rings with pearls, rubies, jade.
Solid gold pagodas – Including Qianlong's golden pagoda for his mother, inlaid with 70,000+ pearls.
Jadeite Cabbage – Jade vegetable with a locust, symbolizing purity.
European mechanical clocks – 18th-century automata that still play music.
Your guide explains Qing luxury, craftsmanship, and cultural exchange.
