Underground Palace Tombs

A picture of the Underground Tombs in Beijing, China. The bits of paper money around the coffin are tossed by tourists in the hope of bringing good luck. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get at any of the bills. You may contact me on the forums (timekeeper), if you want the raw, uncensored, desktop wallpaper-worthy image at a whopping 3072x2304 resolution.

they are to protect the coffins inside of it i think......and people throw money on it for good luck. They are VERY supersticious in china. They think the number 4 is unlucky so every building elevator has a missing 4.

^^The pronounciation of "4" is exactly identical to "death". Thus, people associate that number with death.

actually, the pronounciation of "4" and "death" aren't exactly the same. the sound is the same but "4" is in the fourth tone and death is in the third.
