This is the sixteenth of 17 essays that cover our Southeast Asia cruise (March, 2010). The first paragraph of the sixteenth essay reads as follows: "On our third day in Beijing, we took a taxi to Tiananman Square and the Forbidden City. When you take a taxi you must have your present location as well as your destination written in Chinese so you can get to where you are going and return to your hotel. (Hotels provide this information as a regular and necessary part of their service.) Taxi drivers speak no English at all! Even with it written in Chinese, some drivers will refuse the fare because it is not enough. That is, they would prefer waiting for customers going a longer distance so they can make more money. For example, at the Silk Market, we were refused service back to our Beijing Marriott City Wall Hotel by six taxi drivers before we found a seventh to return us to the hotel."
Thursday's Essay Excerpt - from the last two paragraphs of the essay
All of the 800 buildings (originally built between 1406 and 1420) have been rebuilt more than six times throughout the centuries because of fires. They are decorated in bright, clean colors of yellow, red, green, and blue often with gold-plated highlights, however, as pointed out at the AsianArtMall.com website, “With the color yellow being the symbol for the royal family, you will find it to be dominant throughout the City. For example, the roofs have yellow glazed tiles, palace decorations are painted yellow, and the bricks found outside are yellow.” All the buildings that can be seen today are post-18th-century.
The Forbidden City was home to 24 different Chinese emperors, and it is the best-preserved collection of ancient architecture in China. Because of its place in history, importance, impressiveness, and my memories of our time there, I will continue my discussion of it in Beijing IV — my fourth Beijing essay.
