Our second day of a guided tour by Leo (in blue). |
The first place was Tiananmen Square. |
This place of interest attracts not only foreign visitors but also the abundance of local Chinese.
From Tiananmen Square we proceeded to Forbidden City 紫禁城 with interesting stories & historical facts from Leo. |
A military guard @ Forbidden City. |
In the Forbidden City. |
Some of the shots at the Forbidden City.
Hall of Preserved Harmony. |
The last session of the tour in the Forbidden City.
That was it, I was here @ the Forbidden City. At the rear exit. |
The city is surrounded by this 6m deep X 52m wide moat to keep away enemy entering the city. |
Another one of those commercial visits to help China's economy. This time was scary and it was to a Traditional Chinese Medicine Center. |
A talk given by a qualified doctor both in western & Chinese medical fields and later followed by a physician taking our pulse rates for our health review. |
Some ended up purchasing medication for few months. To believe it or not.....it's all up to you. |
A brief of Temple of Heaven. |
Another must visit place in Beijing.
Gambling row inside the Temple of Heaven. |
The vast green lung of Beijing also popular among the local Chinese for morning exercises. |
At the entrance of Summer Palace 颐和园 with interesting statistic for you to know. |
Used to be an imperial hideout but has been open as a public park since 1924. |
Summer Palace of Beijing expresses the art of Chinese landscape with beautiful garden design. |
Water is the biggest element in Summer Palace combined with the surrounding hills making it a wonderful paradise. |
A magnificent landscape garden design with outstanding aesthetic value. |
Grand buildings and tower are among the gorgeous sight in the park. |
A brief of Wenchang 文昌 Tower. A similar name with my late father's. |
I reckon it will be more beautiful during summer time. |
Moving over to the place of the powerful Empress Dowager Cixi 慈禧太后. |
Care to take a trishaw to the subway. That was it for Day 6. |
