Obama tours Forbidden City

Pod_11-17-09_forbiddencity 
President Obama toured the Forbidden City in Beijing Tuesday, once the home to China’s emperors.
He called the walled compound “beautiful, spectacular” as he huddled against the sharp cold, his hands often in his pockets.
 
After a brisk walk through courtyards and palace buildings, Obama emerged at the Gate of Continuing Harmony and told his Chinese tour guide. “Thank you for a wonderful tour of this magnificent place.”

Obama said later he’d like to return with his daughters.
