The opera troupe's performances captivate the Emperor and the royal court, leaving them spellbound with their mesmerizing skills. Impressed by their talent, Emperor Qianlong grants the opera troupe permission to extend their stay in Beijing, providing them with resources and support to further develop their art form.
As the troupe settles in Beijing, they encounter numerous challenges and obstacles. They must adapt to the new environment, learn new techniques, and face fierce competition from local performers.

Along the way, the film highlights the individual struggles, triumphs, and sacrifices of various troupe members. It delves into their personal lives as they navigate relationships, aspirations, and the pursuit of their artistic goals.
Through their dedication and hard work, the opera troupe gradually gains popularity and recognition throughout the city. Eventually, this unique amalgamation of southern and northern opera styles evolves into what we now know as "Peking Opera."
Enter the Forbidden City not only showcases the artistic evolution of Peking Opera but also serves as a commentary on the significance of cultural exchange and preservation of traditional art forms. It pays homage to the opera's pioneers and their contributions to Chinese performing arts, highlighting the transformative power of art in a changing society.
