Note: I didn’t forget to update on my Beijing trip, I’m just a little tied up recently. So here’s Day 2!
“The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the middle of Beijing,China, and now houses the Palace Museum. For almost five hundred years, it served as the home of the Emperor and his household, as well as the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government.”

A jump shot a day.
I heard from JW the little hill behind us is man-made!
A very old tree.
They used this to tell time.
This was very the Kings used to sit at.
Look at the details!
My MD posted a question to me during our tour. How do you tell the gender between these two Ancient Chinese Lions? Go figure. It’s really simple.
It’s HUGE!
Most pictures were taken by Stephanie and edited by yours truly with “Auto-edit” function! HAH
