Visiting Beijing during school holidays is a no no.Popular locations are shoulder to shoulder in what I found similar to departing the grounds after an International Football match, except the crowd goes on for perhaps 1/2 a Kilometre
Our guide practically ran us through this last stop - so incredibly crowded. If you appreciate Asian architecture, art and gardens this is a nice stop. Wish we could have went through slower, but not sure that is possible.
This palace is huge and beautiful! takes all day activity. Go with time to really enjoy.
The pollution was a problem on the day of our visit
Very crowded
Incredibly impressive property. Too much to see in one day, we spent 6 hours and could have seen more. Be prepared for hoards of people.
