The Forbidden City.
It's been the 12th time in Beijing for me, though probably only a blur until now. Finally going to the Forbidden City has been a dream come true, considering all the stories I grew up reading and, I'll admit, fantasy TV shows x=)
Fortunately we managed to cover all the available palaces before the closing time 4 p.m. Yet nearly half of the Forbidden City is not open for guests, which are connected with quiet alleys, locked gates, layers and layers of peeling golden tiles. These are perhaps, in my opinion, the most sincere side of faces Forbidden City has - solitary.

早上九点进故宫，到关门时间才依依不舍的出来。前殿后殿东西十二宫都一一看下来，最喜欢的居然是后宫层层叠叠朱墙金瓦间、那些阴凉静寂的小路。比起翻修一新的气派大殿，大概藏在华丽下的孤独才是故宫最接近本真的面目罢。
生了铁锈的大锁锁起墙漆剥落的深宫，望得见景山，望不到人间。
