The professional tour guide, Mr. Wang, explained all the cultural relics and buildings in the Forbidden City very clearly, so you won't find it boring or lose interest. He will also help you take photos if you are traveling alone. If you want to take a boat or shuttle bus in the Summer Palace or Old Summer Palace in the afternoon, you need to pay an extra fee of 100 RMB. The parks are very large and it is well worth the visit.
This palace banquet is perfect for a morning visit to the Forbidden City followed by an evening feast. It makes you feel like you're in the palace all day long, with a great sense of ceremony. The food itself is just average, though. If you want to experience the feeling of being in the palace, I recommend this place.
