I guess I knew that the Forbidden City (officially known as the Palace Museum) was going to be big, but I didn't have a good idea of how big. Freaking enormous would begin to cover it. We tried to enter from the north but were told we had to go to the main entrance instead (closer to Tiananmen Square), and just walking around the outside at a reasonably brisk pace took solidly fifteen minutes. Big. And also very cool. I loved the details on the outsides of the buildings in particular, and got my first taste of the many wonderful English translations in China. Relic protected, no scratch. Indeed.
