As a host for Olympic 2008, Beijing sure is a well developed City. I did not spent a long time there though but managed to visit some interesting places. Let me introduce the Forbidden City.
Isn't it magnificent?! This has been the Palace for Emperrors since Ming Dynasty. For those who are not familar with the China history, the building is more than 500 years old!
Along the way, pair of Chinese Guidance Lions can be seen on the entrance to the main hall.
This is believed to symbolic powerful mythic protective powers
The throne in the Hall of Preserving Harmony. It was used for rehearsal ceremonies and the final stage for the Imperial examination.

Well, did not really have enough time to fully cover the whole area. I think it is worth to go there again and enjoy scenery there once again.
