we have set afoot in the Forbidden City!!!
it was an amazing afternoon as we trek into the palace...and see the remains of china's greatest history...
the palace was really REALLY huge...
it took almost 2 hours before i got to the middle of the palace where i was greeted by the lush greenery..
Yes amidst all the wood, marble and stone...
there in the middle of the palace is the garden...
Long Long Ago...
the emperor doesnt need to walk thru the imperial palace..
but sits on a carriage...
he is lonely...
his magistrates though stay in the palace but still somewat far away...
his bride and concubines...
each have their own corners and niches in the palace...
in the mornings...
he has to wake up early for his court...
at nite he has papers to do...
ALAS!
poor emperor.
