Entering the Forbidden City is as important as leaving the place. Yes, it is true! The things we saw were equally beautiful. We couldn't leave the place, I tell you!

But we did since we still have a lot of places to see for the day.


Well, at least I have this photo as a souvenir.


And THIS. No words to describe this beauty.
