A familiar face near Tiananmen Square!

 

 

Signs like these were all over China

 

 

Monument in front of Mao’s Mausoleum on the Square

 

 

One World, but they’re keeping an eye on things!

 

 

Tiananmen Gate to the Forbidden City

Note the prominent picture of Mao

 

 

Inside the Forbidden City at one of several large courtyards

 

 

Proof that I was in the Forbidden City

That’s my “I climbed up the Great Wall” t-shirt!

 

 

Detail of underside of eaves with intricate decoration

 

 

A crane statue – a good luck symbol

I saw this exact statue as I watched The Last Emperor recently!

 

 

It’s nice to know the Happy Rooms in the Forbidden City are 4-star establishments!

 

 

I just liked this particular view…!!!
