As soon as he entered the restricted zone, it was like it was totally separate from the noisy, public areas. The fear of being overwhelmed by a large group of tourists totally vanished, and he could finally admire the true Forbidden City.
The first feeling he had upon entering the forbidden area was that it was quiet. It was really too quiet. Besides the one or two employees that occasionally walked past them, there was basically no one on the road. There was little grass and the ancient trees covered them. A pair of copper lanterns with stone bottoms were situated on both sides of the road in intervals, and walking there was like wandering through thousands of years of history.
Wen Li watched how Zhang Zian looked around, curiously looking at the city. With a chuckle, she said, "Did you think that the restricted areas in the Forbidden City were very mysterious, and now that you've seen them, they turned out to be just like this?"
