We were able to visit Forbidden Gardens to see the replica terra cotta army and Forbidden City and learn some more about Ancient Chinese history. Here are a few of my favorite things we saw and learned:
1. the clay soldiers
2. learning more about the actual burial site of Emperor Qin
3. learning about the Forbidden City
4. walking through the model of the Forbidden City
5. seeing Ancient Chinese weapons
6. learning about Chinese architecture
7. learning about the city of Suzhou, it produces 96% of the world's silk
8. seeing shoes of women whose feet were bound, 3" long
9. the emperor ate with silver tipped chopsticks-the silver would react with any poisons in the food, turning the silver a different color
10. good tour guide
