The Forbidden City & Tiananmen Square

We visited Beijing's Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square which were both very impressive. It was a hot and sunny day and very crowded, mostly with us and other Chinese visitors.

The girl in green was making an attempt to pick-pocket me in that picture. The group was working a scheme where a couple was posing and was trying to get as many people as possible to pose with them as Grandpa took the picture. They seemed like real tourists at that point but we saw them later and they were just thieves. They didn't get anything!
