This blog is simply about anything that my mind tells the fingers to jot down. Many times they come late at night, others at work and occasionally in the toilet heading for that big drop. Most entries are about life in the "land of chocolate" and things that I love to do - mountain biking, photography, snowboarding and a bit of running.

6th. day in Beijing: The Forbidden City

Who says there isn't any Chinese 36D? I just found a couple in the Forbidden City. he he he ... I love my Caplio!

Since I was already here, I thought I might as well take the opportunity to visit the Forbidden City. Having completed my all work tasks, I left the office at around lunch time.

Lying at the center of Beijing, the Forbidden City, called Gu Gong, in Chinese, was the imperial palace during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Now known as the Palace Museum, it is to the north of Tiananmen Square, another tourist attraction in Beijing. Rectangular in shape, it is the world's largest palace complex and covers 74 hectares.
