So it's really Qian qing gong. No wonder the group of chinese tourists who's standing too near to me turn and look at me when i happily announce that we are at "gan" qing gong. 明明就是葡萄乾的乾。

I was reading a chinese guidebook that i bought at the ticketing counter. I could have bought the english version, but you will never know which is the Palace of Heavenly Purity. 乾 乾 乾 乾 乾
