DAY 02

(roll your mouse over the photos to see the captions)

using a bubble frame :) this is Forbidden City, it's really amazing in there.. it's really big!! like HUGE. seriously i don't understand why the emperor needs such a big space. almost all the buildings looks the same, i spent quite some time spotting the differences.. but it's really worth it to visit there, well, at least once in a lifetime.

this is at 天安门广场!!

really cool, bigbigbig place! we had dumplings for lunch, really yummy, there are 9 types of dumplings, manged to take down one special one though.. really enjoy the occasional freezing breeze in beijing.. HONGKONG FEELS SO WARM ):

this is at 卢沟桥.

quite a long bridge, with statues of lions along it.. there's a part of the bridge surfaces being conserved, others were removed and renovated. vehicles can only travel on the new surface..

this is 頤和園.

love this place, especially the sunset!! this is where the emperor spends his summer holidays haha, heard that he had to travel at least a month there? wow..

this was also where he was locked up by 慈嬉太后 until he died ):

it's srsly NOT NICE to be an emperor .. sigh.
