Forbidden City

Finally getting the rest of my China pictures here, I'm sooo slow at this. Well isn't it good to know that sometimes life just get's in the way of spending your days on your computer. So yet again enjoy a overload of pictures from the Forbidden City:

Going in.

There would the Emperor be.

 Ever wonder why there are no tree's in the first parts of the Forbidden City? It's simple. The first parts are in the shape of the character 口 and then when you put a tree 木 inside of it it becomes 困 meaning stuck. So it's not good to say the emperor is stuck.

love the small details

oooh cooold!

dragon :)

yeah I could sit there :)

Dragon - Emperor, Phoenix - Empress

the interesting guide that spoke Finnish, uhm didn't sound like it :)

At the other end.

So that's all for the Forbidden City, it's such a huge place. You can easily spend a day or two there. Truly worth seeing. Next up PANDA!
