It is... forbidden!

We took a plane from Dalian to Beijing (only 50 min). Now, Beijing was fun. We hit several major tourist attractions. Unfortunately, being major and all, they were full of tourists. The first of these was the Forbidden City, which was right near our hotel, kind of. The forbidden city is vast, and parts are under-going renovation. I wanted to ride a bike around it, just like Emperor Pu Yi in "The Last Emperor". Alas, it was not to be.
