Yi Qingqing is now a little rich girl with 70 sign-in points.

She no longer plans to painstakingly accumulate sign-in points to upgrade her personal space skill, so she can sign in more casually.

[You signed in at Tiananmen Square and received a solid gold Tiananmen Gate Tower commemorative medal.]

[You signed in at the Tiananmen flagpole and received a five-star red flag.]

[You signed in at the Monument to the People’s Heroes at Tiananmen Square and received a copy of the People’s Heroes list.]

It was neither a loss nor a gain. 

The most worthwhile item was probably the pure gold commemorative medal, which was about the same size as the small mirror Li Mengxue had given her before. Not only was the material precious, but the relief of the Tiananmen Gate Tower on it was also very beautiful.

The five-star red flag was just the five-star red flag, nothing special about it.

The list of People’s Heroes was a very thick booklet that recorded the names of all the heroes who died since the victory of the country’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

This booklet could be used as a reference for the later Ghost Festival sacrifices.

Xie Shiyan, carrying a camera, asked a passerby to take a group photo of them in front of Tiananmen Square.

Afterward, Yi Qingqing and her friends went to the Forbidden City.

Yi Qingqing, of course, didn’t miss the sign-in location outside the Duanmen Gate of the Forbidden City.

[You signed in at the Forbidden City sign-in location and received a panoramic 3D sign-in map of the Forbidden City.]

Another panoramic map.

On the surface, this sign-in map and the sign-in map of Beijing University seem to overlap with the Beijing map obtained at the entrance of the train station.

But in fact, the map of Beijing is simpler. Yi Qingqing took a special look and found that the sign-in locations inside the building were not shown on the map of Beijing.

The map only showed the exterior of all the buildings, not the interiors.

However, the more detailed maps of Beijing University and the Forbidden City included indoor structures and sign-in locations.

Therefore, the extra maps weren’t a complete waste.

Especially the map of the Forbidden City, which was simply an excellent work of art. The cultural relics inside had been restored. Except for being a little smaller, it looked extremely realistic. It was just unclear what material it was made of.

But it looked exquisite!

It didn’t seem like the Forbidden City that tourists could freely visit today; it looked more like the original Imperial Palace.

Because Yi Qingqing didn’t see the ticket office at the Duanmen Gate on the map.

Yes, at this time, there was an entrance fee to visit the Forbidden City, which cost five cents.

Li Mengxue was very curious. She heard that many places that were ‘no entry for tourists’ in later generations were open at this time.

Yi Qingqing was even more excited as she appeared in a crowd at the sign-in locations, her eyes full of fluorescent colors.

[You found a sign-in location at the East Wing Tower…]

[You found a sign-in location at the West Wing Tower…]

[You found a sign-in location at the Left Side Gate…] 

[You found a sign-in location at the Right Side Gate…] 

[You found a sign-in location at the Meridian Gate…]

…

Suddenly, she felt that she had gone from being a rich woman with 67 check-in points but nowhere to use them to a poor woman who had 67 check-in points but couldn’t afford many things.

Yi Qingqing only knew that the longer the history of a place, the greater the chance of finding good things.

The sign-in location that had survived through time was even more precious.

The latter were rare, but the former were probably unmatched by any place as well-preserved as the Forbidden City!

Sign, must sign!

This time, she planned to use the equivalent of 5 sign-in points to sign in like crazy in the Forbidden City!

Because she didn’t have time to study the map of the Forbidden City carefully, this time, she just followed their tour route and signed in at the places that interested her.

Next time, after researching all the sign-in locations in the Forbidden City, she’ll carefully select the ones she visits.
