The Forbidden City

Forbidden City

Yesterday I was able to visit the Forbidden City, about a 30 minute subway ride from the school. It was a really cold day with a little bit of wind but there were still a lot of people out braving the weather. I heard that they have done a lot of renovation recently and it looked really nice. Everything was open though and I only noticed one building with scaffolding around it. The entire complex was really huge and I walked around for about half the day and still didn't see everything. My favorite parts included the Imperial Gardens and the first couple of courtyards. I've posted some pictures, hope everyone is well.
