After visiting the Summer Palace we took a spin over to the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City is where 24 Chinese emperors ruled China for over 500 years. Today, it is open to the public. We entered the Imperial Palace Grounds from the back and made our way through to the front, which happens to be the location of Tiananmen Square. Here is the back entrance gate.
Here is a long corridor between buildings. The buildings have names such as "Hall of Celestial and Terrestrial Union", "Hall of Mental Cultivation", and "Hall of Joyful Longevity".
This is somewhere near the center of the city.
The Emperor’s thrown room.
Some more impressive buildings inside the city.
Some marching police officers. Don't those hats looks familiar?
Here I am in front of the famous Tiananmen building which is the main entrance to the Imperial Palace Grounds.
Here is a clip of Tiananmen at night.
