Our first day in Beijing we toured around the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square. The Forbidden City is a ridiculously large palace that was built some 600 years ago. It is amazingly well preserved and quite impressive to walk through.
We watched the young men being trained to march perfectly coordinated, while carrying their weapons at the exact right angles, with the same facial expression, in silence. They are drilled relentlessly until it is done in perfect unison.
This is the moat surrounding the Forbidden City nearly 1km long by 800m wide!
Logan had enough looking at the endless rooms and courtyards that all look the same after a few hours. The 30C+ temps also helped put the little guy to sleep.
