BEIJING - China's Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City, has launched a free tour guide mobile application for visitors.

The app can be downloaded from mobile app stores and markets as well as the museum's official website, according to a statement by the museum on Thursday.

The app features detailed guide information about the palaces, halls and buildings in the Forbidden City, and it will also provide route finding services and itinerary suggestions based on visitors' GPS locations, the statement said.

Its English version, "Your Forbidden City," is also available at the Palace Museum's website.

The Palace Museum launched two iPad applications based on its collections last year, and three others will follow this year, according to the statement.
