Forbidden City

Only one thing to say: WOW! Definitely a must see.
The forbidden city is impressive, huge: so many rooms, palaces, statues, bridges, gardens, etc. Everywhere you look there is something to see. Parts of it have been restored, but still a lot of work to be done to rejuvenate the original colors and beauty of the palace. It is so big that unless you have a map, you would feel like you are in a labyrinth and wouldn't know where the exit is. I've attempted to capture what we've seen, but I don't believe my pictures are as impressive as it was.
PS: forget about visiting alone. Even on a week day you will not have the gardens for yourself. You'll have to share it with thousands of Chinese tourists.
