The classic Xiaolongbao, a ground pork dumpling with a rich broth inside. Normally to eat soup dumplings, people nip the crown (top) off, and drink the soup. After, you ate the dumpling itself, otherwise you'd burn your tongue off from the hot soup in the dumpling. This was great, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

A look of the wall as we drive towards it.

The left is a tasting cup, while the right is a nosing cup. Similar to wine glasses, the smaller area the aroma can travel concentrates the smell.

One of the grand buildings, the architecture of the Forbidden City was impressive. This particular building reminded me a lot of Changdeokgung (창덕궁) in Seoul, South Korea.

A rock formation that looks sort of like a human face (if looked at properly). It was said to give prosperity.
