One advantage of the capital city is that its much easier for it to collect the things from all over the country...that's one thing we really cherish cuz we saw a lot of things of extreme value, not just because they are expensive, they are also of countless historic value, compare with the 5,000 years of this country the history of New York is...well, almost nothing. I am truly a patriot but the history of America is even shorter than the ages of anything we see in the museum. Not mention the Forbidden city. Thank our travel agency China travel depot for the arrangement, really considerate.

Really impressive tour, I always like museums for the history and culture are intensively demonstrated in the pavilion. When it comes to China the history and culture are doubled-even multiplied by dozens of times. The arrangement is very proper for us to see 3 museums in a single day, not mention the meal we were treated. I may recommend to my friend Ben for he always wants to come here for his interest of the myth and other mysterious oriental elements. I also would like to thank our driver for waiting for us in the bus for such a long time, since we spent really a lot of time in the museum.

You can only feel the atmosphere when you are truly standing on the square of the forbidden city, an atmosphere of over thousands of years, dates back to the Ming Dynasty, I got no idea at that time who was the emperor but I would really want to thank him for building such a splendid, most beautiful complex I have ever seen in my whole life. I wonder would the emperor feel lonely or something, but it seems we also visits several palaces that built for the wives of him...anyway~ our guide said several guys had seen the ghosts of the maid of honour appears at night, walking on the corridor, kinda of wishing I can stay here^_^
