Which bus/es is/are needed from Long Palace Hotel, Changping Road to Forbidden City?

From your hotel, you can walk north around one mile to get to Life Science Park Metro Station. Then take subway Changping Line to Zhuxinzhuang and line 8 to Nanluoguxiang Station, Exit A. The whole way takes around 50 mins. And the ticket fare is CNY 6 per person. After arriving, walk south to find the scenic area directly.

Edwin,
Many thanks for taking the trouble to help.
