Today we went to Tiananmen Square and The Forbidden City.

There are a lot of people around but it's not too bad. Tiananmen Square was impressive due to the scale of it and The Forbidden City was nice to walk through.

Another nice clear day, although again very cold...
















Had a walk through some Hutongs (traditional streets in the old quarter) while the kids went ice skating on a frozen lake called Back Lakes (Hou Hai).
