This complex is awesome, so much history, so much architecture etc - it has to be one of the top five places I have visted in China, the others being the Terracotta warriors, the Great wall, cruising the Yantze on a cruise liner and Beijing city itself.
An amazing country and we have missed other incredible sights we will visit next time.
This is our last day in China and I am still stunned from what we have seen.
