20050906 CHINA - Beijing -TianAnMen Square & Forbidden City
The home to 2 dynasties of emperors, the Ming and the Qing. Absolutely worth for an exploration. The TianAnMen Building (not the Square) is not interesting (separate admission). Once entering the Forbidden City from the south gate, one would be stunned by the extravagant view of the palace. The museums house the precious antiques, gifts, porcelains etc, also displaying the residence of concubines and servants. Too tired to see everything in details. The crowds were dense, hardly have space and time to appreciate the beauty.
