Dwellers of the Forbidden city is a classic adventure and exploration module. (5e players might recognize the city of Omu, HEAVILY based on Dwellers of the Forbidden City). The titular city is very well detailed and fleshed out, and the module gives a dungeon master plenty of information - both of the city proper and the surrounding area. The adventure is pretty "sandbox" in that the party can approach the hidden city from multiple routes, and approach the denizens of the city in no particular order. Note that if you are updating this module for 5e use, pay attention to some of the monsters (they are MUCH higher level than the "ideal level") - looking at an aboleth and a dragon turtle here...There are several species in conflict, and useful maps are provided, giving each region of the city its own feel and theme.
Whether looking for a great stand-alone, or getting the module to support Tomb of Annihilation, I1 is a very good module
