This morning we went to Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City. Security was tight at the square (you had to check all of your belongings in to a locker, and could not even take a camera into the mausoleum where Mao rests). Below is a picture of the WKU group in the square (we also had a flag/banner made up saying WKU's Olympic trip, but security was not allowing anything that may even look like a protest to occur ... we ended up taking the flag picture out in front of our hotel).
The following pictures are from the Forbidden City.
Reference to the "Great Stone Dragon" from Mulan...
This is just a small taste of how big the courtyards are ... the grounds are enormus.
At the end is a nice "garden" area (complete with gift shops). 
The following pictures are from the Forbidden City.

I'm quite impressed with your reference to the "great stone dragon" on mulan...is that because you have a daughter or did they really give you that information on your tour?
