#10 – Forbidden City

Leave a reply

True or False: Which statements below are true about the Forbidden City?  I’ve added some helpful (?) comments after each claim.

  1. 980 buildings were constructed from 1406 to 1420 (that’s 14 years, you couldn’t possibly build that many structures so fast)
  2. A Starbucks store opened in 2000 (that coffee place is everywhere, I guess)
  3. More people visit here annually than Golden Gate Park in San Francisco (China…California…why not?)
  4. It’s surrounded by a 151 foot wide moat (right, and my uncle was King Arthur)
  5. Disneyland and Disney California Adventure are smaller in area (that can’t be…I love Disneyland)

According to my research, all five are…TRUE!

980 Buildings in 14 Years – The enormity of that construction effort is offset somewhat by another gigantic number, the 1,000,000 people used to complete the task.  Can you imagine how long it would take today to even get all the necessary approvals to build something that large.

Starbucks in 2000 – Yes it was opened but no you can’t buy a Caramel Macchiato there today.  It was closed in 2013 after months of controversy.
The tobacco viagra no prescription smokes also contain many chemicals. This sexual disorder is one of the major reasons for male impotence is the problem of weak ejaculation and discharge cheapest viagra http://deeprootsmag.org/2014/07/29/coeur-dalene-puyallup-tribes-cancel-ted-nugent-concerts-washed-rockers-racist-remarks/ of semen.

Hard, huge, lasting, let a cialis without prescriptions canada man confidence to multiply, give female greatly satisfy! Largo Enlargement Cream can make penile erectile quality adequately expand so it can enhance barrenness, lessen, for example, sexual brokenness impact, and can make the male desire abundant.
Golden Gate Park Loses – According to a Huffington Post article, GGP finished 14th on their list of 50 Most Visited Tourist Attractions, four places behind the Forbidden City and more than 2 millions visitors less.

Giant Moat – Actually the moat’s width of 52 meters, which is just a little over half an American football field, isn’t really all that giant.  Though it is larger than most goldfish ponds.

Disneyland vs. Forbidden City –  The Magic Kingdom and California Adventure at 85 and 72 acres respectively still fall short of the over 180 acres of land making up the Chinese attraction.

So there you have it…some interesting (?) facts about the 10th most visited spot in the world.  Do you have your reservations?

Travel’s PH Factor

Julia Engel (Gal Meets Glam) wrote about a trip to Paris with her husband and the key to avoiding that overwhelming feeling that there’s too much to see and not enough time.  Her solution…plan ahead!

It might be too simple to say the more there is to see at a destination, the more you need to plan ahead, but it is certainly one way to make sure you see what’s important to you.  Take Paris for example.

According to a site I reviewed, there were 70 restaurants in Paris, four years ago, with a coveted Michelin rating of 1, 2, or 3 stars.  Good luck walking around the city trying to figure out where to eat, if that’s a key component to your trip.  And you could try and visit each of the over 400 parks and gardens I found listed or tour all 45 monuments and architectural wonders in the city, but I’m guessing you’ll be suffering some type of exhaustion long before your finish.

San Francisco is the World’s 6th Best Place to Visit according to a report  released by U.S. News and we live here so that makes us pretty happy.  It also makes for a couple of good reasons to consider planning a trip to the City by the Bay.

As you’d learn in Who Are We, this has been our home for nearly 30 years.  Helping you plan a trip to San Francisco will give us the opportunity to share some local background with you.  There was a book and series a few years back called, ‘Bay Area Back Roads’.  We might be able to point you toward a few back road experiences on your trip.

There’s something special about being in a local resident’s ‘back yard.’  When Ellen and I visited the Boston area years ago, she was amazed at the language difference and couldn’t wait to ask someone to say park the car.  When a man obliged and she heard ‘pahk the cah’, it made the trip that much more memorable.  We don’t think we talk funny but we still might have a surprise or two for you.
