This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Forbidden City. Since online tickets were sold out months in advance, we tried our luck on site and got tickets after less than 20 minutes of waiting. Baby Baozi was with us in the buggy. The paths are very long in the huge palace complex

Highlights: For Nunu and MC, the visit was a real highlight, as they could borrow prince and princess costumes and have their make-up done. "The Forbidden City is absolutely impressive despite the crowds." ✨
