Beijing Forbidden City: A journey through time with drizzling rain

When I woke up in the morning, I found it was raining heavily outside. I thought to myself, "Oh no!" In Beijing, the traffic is unimaginably chaotic. I ate breakfast in a hurry and opened the Amap. As expected, all the taxis had more than 200 people waiting. I gritted my teeth and braved the rain, thinking about taking the subway! I just walked out of the hotel door and walked less than 50 meters. My shoes and trouser legs were already wet. It was really a bad day! Thinking so in my heart, I still walked quickly to the subway station, transferred to Line 8, and exited Jinyu Hutong. The rain gradually became lighter. Today should be a lucky day after the rain! Entered the Forbidden City! Listening to the tour guide talking about historical anecdotes, walking and walking, I fell into a vortex of time. I imagined that 500 years ago, those dignitaries, princes and nobles really lived here! Those intrigues and power calculations seemed to have happened just yesterday! It's so sad!
