On the other side of the world, in the heart of Beijing, lies the Forbidden City. This incredible palace was once home to Chinese emperors! With its beautiful wooden buildings and rich history, it’s like stepping into a fairy tale. They even had ancient sundials to tell time, just like the Incas! How cool is that? 😎
