We got to see Tian'anmen Square and the Forbidden City today, which were regretfully wreathed in smog. Our guide said this is normal for August, due to weather. Tian'anmen wasn't as wide-open as I thought (perhaps due to my perspective being limited by the smog) but impressive nontheless, particularly in the memories it stirred. The Forbidden City was huge, and very impressive. We thought we must be nearly done when we saw a map, and it showed that we had only gotten through 1/4 of it!!
