Xiucai said that the tour guide Li Donghua explained seriously, the overall process senses are very good, the explanation is very meticulous, every attraction is clearly explained, explained clearly, the experience is great
Xiucai said that the historical chain of Sun Dao is clear, the story is painted and the service is in place! The Zhu wall of the Forbidden City is yellow and tiles, shining; the carved beams and paintings are beautiful; the teeth are high and scattered; a scene and a beast are lifelike. The magical imagination and creativity of the ancients are amazing, and I have to be breathtaking. The Forbidden City in-depth tour recommended Xiucai said!
When you come to the Forbidden City, you can feel the vastness and depth of ancient Chinese civilization, and you can also feel the weight and charm of history. When you come to the Forbidden City, you can talk about the leadership of Xiao Wang in Xiucai, hear many very interesting past events in the Forbidden City, and experience different play feelings.
Xiucai said that Qi Dao contacted us one day in advance to meet the time and place. The explanation of the Forbidden City the next day was very meticulous, caring, there were many children in the group, the history stories and traditional culture were particularly wonderful, and it took more than 3 hours without knowing it. It is highly recommended.
A place of interest and monument very suitable for bringing children, hehehe, the second time I brought my brother. I have been here twice in total, and I haven’t seen it every time. I still have to work out and work hard to strengthen my strength. I will look at it carefully for the next four hours. Come on.
As the most iconic building in modern Chinese history, the uneven ground witnessed how many years have changed, experienced several burning, several reconstructions! Everything in the Forbidden City makes people look like a heavy sense of history, the place where Cixi lived makes people feel heavy and atmospheric, and Zhenfei Well reflects the cruelty of the court and even the society at that time! The watches in the clock hall are more sophisticated than the current watch design. I saw the treasures in the treasure hall and knew how extravagant the royal family was at that time, and how small we were ordinary! It is called: how many things are in the past, and how many things are lost, meet and smile!
