Unser Tour Guide war sehr gut informiert und sprach auch sehr gut deutsch. Zu Beginn war er ziemlich hektisch und lief uns fast schon davon, so schnell war er. In der Verbotenen Stadt hat er es dann ruhiger angehen lassen und die Tour war prima.Die verbotene Stadt zu sehen isz ja ein Muss in Peking und so haben wir es auch auf uns genommen, den Platz des himmlischen Friedens und die Verbotene Stadt zu besichtigen. Man muss sich im klaren sein, dass man ganz hauptsächlich die Gebäude sieht auf dem Platz und der Stadt, keine Spuren mehr von alter Pracht im Inneren. Auf dieser Tour bekommt man auch ein gefühl dafür, wie viele Chinesen es gibt und dass sie auch gerne Reisen.
