When a leader visits another country, he or she sometimes goes to the country's
most famous places. It is to show respect to the local culture. For the leaders, it's also a good time to relax during a tiring foreign trip.

Obama spent 50 minutes in the Forbidden City on Tuesday. He thinks the Forbidden City is a "magnificent (华丽的) place to visit". He said: "I will come back with my girls and my wife." On Wednesday afternoon, he took a quick tour of the Great Wall at Badaling. There, he enjoyed a moment of peace. "It's magical (不可思议的).
