百闻不如一见(Bǎi wén bù rú yī jiàn)It is better to see for oneself than to hear of something many times. / Seeing is believing.

Explanation

“百闻不如一见”这句话字面义是指听到一百次,还不如亲眼看到一次。表示亲眼见到的更可靠更真实。
This idiom literally means that to hear about something for even one hundred times is not as good as seeing it just once in person. It suggests that the things you see yourself are more reliable and truthful than those you hear of.

Words:

故宫ɡùɡōnɡ:the Forbidden City;
壮观zhuànɡɡuān:amazing.
