[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Forbidden City is one of the major attractions of Beijing. Taken on a hot May Day with 36c temperatures. Many of the scenes from the film 'Last Emperor' (Pu Yi), were based on this place, & some scenes may have even have been shot here.

These days, ordinary commoners are permitted entry.

Ps: Please don't boycott critiquing my photo, because of recent events in Tibet.

Unusual view of this famous landmark - I think you have presented it more honestly and "as it really is" than most photos of the Forbidden City.

Is it just me or do Asians in general have an aversion to wearing shorts? If it was 36c in Auckland everyone would be wearing shorts! And sandals.

Hi Chris,
Great composition. The horde of tourists and teh advertisement? in the building in the background spoils it somewhat, but, that can not be helped. Interesting photo o fthis very historic place.
