The Forbidden City served as the Ming and Qing dynastic palace from 1420 until the end of imperial rule in 1911; Mutianyu was part of Ming-era fortifications protecting the approaches to Beijing.
Both the palace and sections of the Great Wall manage visitor numbers to limit wear; stick to designated paths, avoid climbing on fragile masonry, and follow guide directions to reduce impact.
