Visitors to Forbidden City

April 13, 2011 by YinYang 3 Comments

Obvioulsy, Forbidden City requires no introduction. My family spent the day there today. For now, I’d simply like to share photos I took of some visitors there. I have collected more QQ numbers, including from the parents of the two boys below. They are from Wenzhou, Zhejiang province. Couple of my college friends were from that area as well. I was glad to see many Chinese citizens visiting Beijing for the first time. In general, they are doing some sort of business and things are booming. The country is moving ‘up,’ and that is what I see in the Chinese travelers.

    How dare you show a face of China that is peaceful and harmonious. This is not what we want to see! this does not fit the story line.

    where is the baton-weilding jack-booting security men that beat down journalists. where are the dissidents. they should be everywhere. China is on verge of revolution and isn’t that what the media report shows?…. your pictures and travelogues does not fit that standard description.

    you must be a paid agent of the communists-capitalists-socialists dictators.

    in all seriousness, good job on your pictures.
