In the Forbidden City’s ancient halls,
where emperors once made their calls,
now cos girls shine in silk and lace,
bring modern flair to royal space.
In Jinghsai Park, beneath the trees,
they pose with grace, a playful tease,
embroidery gleams, but check their kicks -
trainers peek, oh what a mix!
At the Temple of Heaven’s grand design,
concealed behind fan and long dress line,
pinks, lilacs, or a pale blue hue,
yet comfy trainers peek right through.
Beihai’s waters calm and deep,
where shadows of the dowager sweep,
dressed in darker, regal shades,
still, cell phones light their shaded glades.
Summer Palace’s storied grounds,
where history’s silent, ancient sounds,
now echo with a modern twist -
a selfie stick clenched in a princess’ fist!
Streets of Beijing, bustling, loud,
where tradition’s cloaked in trendy shroud,
a cosplay queen in robes and sneakers,
who knew history had such cheeky features?
So let’s not spoil the magic, friend,
in this fusion that will not end,
a playful dance of old and new,
where ancient charm meets trendy shoes!
