Great shot. I had to go the Beijing a couple of times for work years and years ago. I went round the forbidden city with a raging hang-over (not my proudest moment). I remember that the batteries were running low on my audio guide (Roger Moore’s voice getting more and more slurred) which added to the general weirdness of the whole scenario. I would love to go back to appreciate it properly.
Do you know if Roger Moore is still the voice for the audio guide?
