Forbidden City


From afar.


Mr Mao Zhe Dong in front of Tianan-men (The gate of Heavenly Peace)


I feel safer in Beijing than in Kuala Lumpur. Maybe because they have increased the number of policemen in the city as a part of the preparation for Olympic 2008.


Inside the forbidden wall.


One of the many halls in the Forbidden City. There are more than 9000 rooms in total!






These are not ancient flusks. But they are antique to me.


Ancient gate with modern lock.

Gorgeous pictures. Despite the sandstorm, the pictures looked very clear. Nice.
