The forbidden city had incredible details on the buildings to look at and a really interesting set up for their garden. Lots of rocks and different flowers.

This gargoyle/statue is awesome. I am so glad danielle pointed it out.

I loved just looking at these roofs. Danielle whited captured how amazing it looked so well  in this photo.

While waiting to meet up with Anne Shen, we were chilling and I whipped out my Kindle so I could learn more about the Forbidden city and the old guy was totally fascinated by it.

So after walking down the main aisle, we decided to walk down the side streets of the forbidden city and found this structure and a little girl doing this pose infront of it so we decided we just had to it although she looked way cuter we had too much fun with it. We tried having a new rule that we could not just smile at the camera we had to be doing something else (a lot harder to do then it sounds when you are taking so many photos)

After walking through the forbidden city we went to a park across the street and went to the highest point in order to get a better sense for just how big the forbidden city is and the golden roofs of the forbidden city are amazing to look at. It is such a big space!
