Note: After the Covid years, China has reopened. Domestic visitor numbers have increased far beyond expectations, leading to overcrowding at attractions. During the summer peak season, the Forbidden City in Beijing limits visitor numbers, selling only 30,000 tickets online per day instead of 80,000 as before. Especially during the Lunar New Year, one of the four busiest periods of the year in China, Forbidden City tickets may not be available. If the company still cannot purchase Forbidden City tickets despite its best efforts, it will be replaced by Prince Gong's Mansion or the Temple of Heaven - where Chinese emperors worshipped heaven and earth.
