Beijing


Raymond and I went to Beijing for 5 days. It was cold at about -7 degree in the day. I can't tell much about the histories of China even though the tour guide talked quite a bit about the emperors that had stayed in the Forbidden City. But by estimating the area the the Forbidden City, I guess it can take you at least 30mins to just walk from the entrance to the court, not to mention further in.
However, I really admired the architectures. The beautiful colours, the height of each buildings, the details,the drainage system....magnificient!!
The Great Wall is the most exciting event that we looked forward to most. It was such a breath taking view. It was really tough climing up the steps.
