Each time I finish one, I think "it can't get better than that". But Zhu, it does!!! Another beautiful set of photographs. I love the final photograph of the Forbidden city, it really provides a sense of how big and how enormous it is. I can't even begin to imagine what it must have been like to be living in there. I have read and heard so much about it and would love to visit it someday.

Hope your trip goes fine. I'll be in touch! @RennyBA - The climb was tough but I thought of you guys... I HAD to take a pic! :lol: @beaverboosh - So far so good! @kyh - They sure liked their housing! @Annie - I think it's because the "common" people couldn't get in. It was only for the emperor etc. That said, in Chinese, it doesn't really translate as the Forbidden City, it must be an English or foreign name. @barbara — I thought of you!

Of course we got a lot of reports during the Olympics, but its much more nicer to have it from a local.
