Day 3 was a day of contrast. We began with the Forbidden City (故宫 or 紫禁城) before wandering around HouHai (后海) and into some of the surrounding Hutongs (胡同). We stumbled accross the Soong Ch’ing-ling (宋庆龄) museum which, I have to say, is one of the best museums I have ever been to world-wide and well worth a visit. We ended the day with coffee in QianMen 23 (前门23) located just off Tian’anmen Square (天安门广场).
