I have just completed touring some tourist places in Beijing. I will like to ask two questions:
1. Summer Palace - I found that the steps are quite narrow and steep. It is quite tiring to reach the palace. I wonder how the royal family go up. Any idea?
2. Forbidden City - I found it's strange that there is no entrance fee but exit fee. While the latter is only two rmb, what's if someone simply claim that he/she has no money.

Thanks much.
