The Forbidden Cty

October 31, 2017. No one photo could convey scale and scope of the forbidden city. But let me try with this one: this is the outer gatehouse. Behind this is an inner gatehouse, a series of palaces, gardens and much more. The Forbidden City is everything I expected and more. I spent the day here exploring the city and the Zhongshan Park next door. Accomplishments: I did three nice things for other people: - I let young woman ahead of me to view one of the palaces; her surprised smile lit up my day - I helped a man photograph a child by attracting his attention toward the camera - I called out to a man when he accidentally dropped quite a bit of money http://ift.tt/2ikenP2
