Forbidden Gardens photos

A friend that went with us to Forbidden Gardens emailed me some photos (yeah!), so I thought I'd post them as a current blog. These photos are from the trip we took in April.


This is a photo of Alexandra and 2 of her friends at one of the statues before we entered the actual displays.


These terra-cotta figures are 1/3rd actual size, and yet they still take up so much room! It's hard to believe they were all made and buried just to satisfy one emperor.


This is one of the terra-cotta soldiers. With the real ones in China, each man is unique.


This is a picture of Alexandra and one of her friends looking through a gate into the Forbidden City.

This is a picture of the miniature model of the Forbidden City.

This is a photo of Alexandra at the picnic we had after our visit. It was taken by one of her friends.
