Today we conquered the Forbidden City and got to experience all of its beauty! The structures had much more detail than I could have imagined. I found myself to be i awe more and more as we continued to make our way through the city. I was the most excited about seeing the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, and it was everything that I wished it to be. It was so interesting to hear the history behind many of the structures and to see how something so old could be preserved for so long.
It was extremely hot outside, and we sweat profusely, but the experience was so worth it! Afterwards, we made our way back to the Pearl Market to do a bit of shopping before heading off to eat the Peking Duck!
