Tienamin square and the forbidden city

Tienamin Square is a lot larger than i expected it to be. I believed it to be 10-20 acres large, but i found out its over 100 acres big. This is also the first place i realized that some of the locals in China have never seen foreigners before, so they were amazed when they saw a group of 40 foreigners, taking pictures and videos of us every chance they got. The forbidden city is one of the largest structures I’ve ever seen. Walking through it, after every square, i was thinking the whole time “there cant possibly be more.” To my amazement it kept on going, I learned that the Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming dynasty to the end of the Qing dynasty. I also learned that it is the center of Beijing, and the city grows outward.
