Because it was inhabited by the emperor and strictly forbidden to commoners, it was called the 'Forbidden City.'

5. What permanent exhibitions and special cultural experiences are currently available at the Palace Museum?

6. How long does it typically take to fully experience a visit to the Mutianyu Great Wall?

The time required for visiting the Mutianyu Great Wall varies depending on individual stamina and travel style. To fully experience it and ascend to the 'Hero's Slope' at the highest point (North Tower 8), it is recommended to allocate about 3 to 4 hours. This time is sufficient for taking the cable car or ski lift up and down, walking along the wall to admire the scenery, taking photos, and fully appreciating the grandeur of the Great Wall.

The Mutianyu Great Wall is divided into northern and southern sections. The northern section is generally considered to have more spectacular scenery and is steeper, presenting a higher challenge. North Tower 8 (Hero's Slope) is the highest point, offering panoramic views of the winding Great Wall from above, and is a must-reach destination for many visitors. The southern section has a gentler slope and fewer visitors, suitable for those who wish to avoid crowds or have slightly less stamina, while still offering magnificent views of the Great Wall.

8. For first-time visitors to the Mutianyu Great Wall, what are the recommended ways to visit and important tips?

For your first visit to the Mutianyu Great Wall, it is recommended to take the cable car or ski lift up and down, which will effectively save your energy and allow you to appreciate the entire Great Wall from different angles.
