Considering the Beijing Tibet Hotel in Beijing?

Entering the Forbidden City by cheapskate
Beijing has gone from being an ancient capital to a modern capital. The old remains as many new changes are evolving. This is very much a city of contrasts, and i love it!The Forbidden City is something you absolutely would not miss out when you are in Beijing. It is an architectural spectacular and wonder. It is HUGE.. and before even entering the main compound would already leave you in awe. Why so? There are several outer gates (5 i think) that surrounds the palace, each quite far apart from another. Having a horse, then, to get around the palace quickly was quite indispensible. :) Lucky for the emperor, he had servants to carry him around!
