FORBIDDEN City by name, but no longer by nature. Set in the heart of Beijing, this ancient site attracts around 80,000 visitors per day, and with today being a local public holiday, the numbers were spilling well over 100,000 today.
Despite the crowds, I still managed a lot of good shots with exploring the entire city complex, along with Tiannamen Square at one end and Jingshan Park at the other. Fortunately my hotel was very close, but was very tired following ten hours of walking exploring these amazing places.
