An hour ahead..

I woke up at 9 in the morning and immediately googled for my watch to move an hour ahead Yes, you’ve read it correctly. Today is the daylight savings and everyone has to sync their watches with the time zone and move an hour a head. I’ve to make my watch to show 10 instead of 9. Another great moment to pen in my diary right! Unfortunately, I will be India when the DST ends, so don’t have a chance to move it back again

Been to St.Louis Gateway Arch

The St.Louis arch is an awesome experience. Viewing the St.Louis down town one side and the missisippi river on the other from 640 feet above from the top is really amazing and will be a great moment to every one. I’ve been to the St.Louis Arch, which is also called as the Gateway Arch for St.Louis and frequed out in the downtown for some time.

Even though I enjoyed the snowy mountains in Colarado, I didn’t enjoy the real snow fall any time in my life… I’ve enjoyed the same yesterday in St.Louis, MO. Ofcorz, it’s a nice experience to me able to see another wonder in my life..

The Forbidden City.. an amazing gift to China from the Ming dynasty

The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace during the mid-Ming and the Qing Dynasties. The Forbidden City is located in the middle of Beijing, China. It is now known as the Palace Museum. Its extensive grounds cover 720,000 square meters (appx 124 acres). The Forbidden City has 800 buildings with 8,886 rooms.

The Forbidden City is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987 as the “Imperial Palace of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.”

The Palace Museum in the Forbidden City should not be confused with the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan island. Both museums derive from the same institution, but they were split after the Chinese Civil War.

Been to Badaling Section of GWC..

Badaling is 70 kilometers far from northwest of the Beijing City. Badaling is a rare ancient military defense project. The elevation of it is about 1,000 meters. The wall of Badaling has a total length of 3, 741 meters with an average height of 8 meters The highest part is 15 meters. The total area for a tour is 19, 000 square meters. The top of the wall can permit five horses to be ridden abreast.

This section of the Great Wall was made by huge bar stones. Some of the stones have a height of two meters with a weight of hundreds kilograms. The top floor of the Great Wall is paved with square bricks which made the floor very orderly and smooth. On the highest place, signal fire platforms were set to send warning signals in the ancient China.Near Badaling, there is a large-scaled Great-Wall-of-China Museum as well as the Great Wall National Theater from which you can get a full and complete view of the Great Wall.
