From Tienanmen Square we were off to the Forbidden City which served as home to 24 Chinese emporers from the Ming to Qing Dynasties. It was built in 1406 and is the worlds largest surviving palace complex. So in we go....
I loved all the intricate and colorful wood carvings.... 
Each gate had a lion on each side...the male lion with his paw on the world - 
Some shots as we passed through the inner courts...
Tucked away in the Forbidden City is the Imperial Garden which was a small garden for the royal family to escape to. It had a lot of rock structures which had been taken from deep rivers creating the cool shapes that kind of made them look like "moon craters."
