for you NomRe: forbidden city China inside courtyard
Looks like a fantastic trip, I watched a program about the terracotta army a while back, it was so interesting and also sad when you realised how the poor people who made the terracotta army were treated and the dreadful conditions they lived in.Re: forbidden city China inside courtyard
The politics Anita one does not come across in China as a tourist. Also one does not bring up such subjects, remember it is a communist state with secret police about anyway.We were advised not to go anywhere without the tour guide but I did sneak a couple of pictures of the back streets around the hotel. See pics above.Re: forbidden city China inside courtyard
In Zian the tour we did included a visit to the top theatre as well. Yes it was a crammed in go go go type tour. So my wife could get better pictures, I left my camera in the hotel, she decided to sit on the main steps leading to the stage. All was ok UNTIL she had a tap on her shoulder. Turning around she was holding up the Emperior-Empress- and all his revenue of 20/30 people trying to get on stage, OOOOOOOOOPS; big time.Re: forbidden city China inside courtyard
What I would advise is go with an open mind and don't try and compare with what you are used to in UK. For example a 4* hotel over there is like a 2*+ over here.
