Forbidden City

It was home to emperors (and to Pekingese too, by the way, the preferred pet of royalty). I can't say I'd have wanted to live there. There's no heat, no air-conditioning, and the stone floors are hard on one's feet. We all live better than emperors once did.
The home of the last emperor has a photo of the first non-emperor hanging on the front door.

No political commentary from me, not on this blog anyway.
