The first castle we visited in Prague was Hradcany, which was founded during the reign of John of Luxembourg sometime after 1320. There we had a local guide, who had blond hair and green eyes but could speak perfect Chinese. She also had a Chinese name, si jia, which means missing home. The castle now houses the offices of Czech government, including president Vaclav Havel, so only the cathedral and a small part of the castle allows visitors.
Some inside parts of the castle are not allowed for photos, so I found a website that has a few beautiful pictures of the inside. Click the title above.
