a long backdated post abt my trip to changchun last mth~~
while out doin bank cfm, the client brought me to visit one of the very famous place of interest 伪满皇宫博物院。 this is the residence of the last emperor of china, puyi, who ascended the throne when he was only 3 yrs old.
so by definition, i'm visiting a REAL palace!
the imperial garden (御花园) dat we often see on tv shows. it's really super big, no wonder they can always walk for miles before reaching another part of the palace.
the interior of the palace, as puyi's era was between the qing empire and the people's republic of china, the things and decorations inside the palace were actually very modern...
he even had pool table, piano & lotsa western stuffs! haha... i nv expect an emperor to play the piano, tink i used to classify all of them under very old dynasties!
an org chart of the departments in the palace~~ can u spot finance? lol!
this is already the oldest type of costumes i can find inside the palace, the rest are all modern suits...
some other exterior parts of the palace~~
during the wkend, we went shopping at the whoesale market there. it is really WHOLESALE! clothes there are so super cheap dat we've to stopped each other from buying more! while taking the domestic flight back to shanghai to transit, we got charged 340 bucks for excess baggages, n we almost cldnt board e flight as we've spent all our RMBs and have no money to pay! haha...
my hotel~~ it's called the changchun international conference and exhibition hotel, so u can imgaine the among of ppl coming here for meetings, seminars n dunno wat...
