##### <div class="text-justify"><p>Hello everyone, I love to travel but I can't travel much here in Venezuela for the situation and I can't afford it so this is my fourth post of my favorite places to travel. You know I practice Kung fu so China is my Favorite traveling place EVER has so many things that can be overwhelming. Let me show you some of them.</p></div> 

<div class="text-justify"><p>Once I fell in love of a city called China is a huge country and with so many histories and legends. And how do I fall in love? watching movies. I've seen all the kung fu movies I could and also I think I can remember all the movies of jackie chan. And that's why I started training Wushu but that's another theme.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>Beijing has a giant museum "The Forbidden City" which is amazing and hits you from the first moment you see it because you notice all the effort and all the power. They took 15 years to build it since 1406 in Ming Dynasty. People say that it is so big that it takes 4 hours to visit it, taking into account that many of its rooms are closed to the public because it is constantly in repair, which is not surprising being so old.</p></div>

The Chinese are a little superstitious and the legend says that the celestial palaces have 10000 rooms and the palaces of earth could not surpass that number so The Forbidden City has 9999 rooms, because this way they have the proteccion of the Gods and  I'm leaving you the legend [here](http://www.seeraa.com/china-attractions/forbidden-city-legend.html) It's so cool to read.

<div class="text-justify"><p>It seems super intriguing to me the forbidden city because not any person could enter. The level of architectural demand and wealth can be seen with the naked eye was made with the finest wood and of the most outstanding marble in China, also the floors of the main rooms were made with Suzhou tiles or "Golden bricks" (Have to check this when I visit it) Around the palace there is a kind of lake full of kois of my size. And not only you can enjoy that characteristic architecture there but throughout the city.</p></div>

<div class="text-justify"><p>The emperors supported Buddhism very much and therefore the forbidden city has numerous religious pieces and relics this was practiced in the royal courts. In China there are countless Buddhist temples and pagodas. Even today, monks can be observed practicing hard martial arts some of its temples are preserved in the mountains and are highly respected by all people worldwide due to practices and meditations from an early age.</p></div> 

If you want you always have the "wikihow" where you can learn how to become a Buddhist monk in thirteen steps. (joking)

<div class="text-justify"><p>Near the forbidden city there are complexes of buildings with ponds and a lot of interesting gastronomy, where you can enjoy being a tourist and being surrounded by them because every year millions of people go to China to enjoy its many shows and attractions.</p></div>

For china, the lotus flower means purity of body and soul. This flower represents Buddhism. 
>When the lotus flourishes light means the promise of purity and spiritual upliftment. 

<div class="text-justify"><p>These are my Master's words. Is widely used in Chinese literature to represent the beauty and delicacy of ladies. Even in something as simple as yoga we can see the lotus flower represented as one of the basic positions. Over the years different meanings have been given to each color of the lotus flower</p></div> 

<div class="text-justify"><p>As I said at the beginning China is amazing and huge, has so many things that a single post could never have everything. Maybe in another occasion teach them a little of martial arts and its transcendence. Thanks for reading me.</p></div>
