First visit Tiananmen Square, the world largest. It is filled with tourists from all parts of China every day. Then move on to The Forbidden City, which was the seat of Imperial power for 500 years, and is now a major tourist attraction in China. The total area of the complex is 183 acres, so it takes quite a while to walk through, especially if you want to have a close look at everything. All together there are 9,999 1/2 rooms in the Museum, not all of which can be visited.
