Forbidden City, Beijing

Wednesday, August 19, 2015

We arrived in the morning to Beijing, and headed to our hotel.  We used the afternoon to visit the Forbidden City – the imperial palace so large that it is a city in itself.  The emperor was the only man allowed in the palace.  There are many symbolic elements in this very formal palace.












While returning from the dinner, we passed a nearby market with performers and food and souvenir stalls.  An advice for food: if it is still moving, do not eat it...
