Throughout the China pages, I offer both some of my own commentary as well as background on the places you are looking at.  The background information was actually written by my sister Deanna, and I want to say thank you to her for her help with the text on this site!

   
We ate lunch at a museum/art gallery.  The pictures above are of the beautiful art that was for sale.
We then went to Tian Anmen Square.

Some sites to see in Tian Anmen Square are the Great Hall of the People and the China Revolutionary museum. Also, in Tian Anmen square every day is a big ceremony for rising and taking down the Chinese flag.  The Forbidden City is called the Forbidden City because it was only for the Emperor and the Emperor�s people, so it was forbidden to the commoners. The Forbidden City is made up of rows and rows of buildings, and beautiful statues.
