China... in pictures

ok so the pictures are muddled but they are all here, everything from china, enjoy :D

 Temple of Heaven

 garden at the forbidden city. the garden was outside the city because the emperor did not want another being that was more supreme than him in the city, and plants where considered so.

 terracotta warriors

 the above and below photos are of the sleeper train we went on. I was really impressed with the cleanliness.

 Master of the nets garden and the view of shanghai from my window.the sky was purple because the smog of the city would reflect the lights of the city
