Following lunch we headed for Tiananmen Square and on into the Forbidden City. It is impossible to comprehend or describe the vastness of these places. It is hard to look upon the square as anything other than oppressive.
The afternoon in the Forbidden City was something else. Huge doesn't begin to describe it. The history was impressive too. Loved the gardens even though we were pushed for time. The whole walk from beginning to end was about 5kms with lots of weaving in and out of places. The photos only tell part of the story.
After that we went on to the Silk Factory. Spent a fortune but was well worth it. I could have quite literally spent all day in the shop and we each had our own shopper following us around and helping us out.
We then made our way back to the hotel for dinner. Food is delicious.
