...although I went early the amount of people was staggering... This is the main entrance with its huge walls..
Symmetry is the key to architecture... at least it was then...
...who might this be symbolic for?...
...looking back...
The Hall of Supreme Harmony...
11 'Guards', China's highest ranking building...
The bowls are for fire extinguishing...
The art of stone masons...
Imperial throne...
... and living quarters...
Cupola of a garden pavillion...
Living quarters of empress Qixi...
Foot binding apparently still has not totally disappeared....
No Pampers required....
Chinese garden architecture at its best...
The precursor of modern art... (artist: mother nature)...
In the clock museum, a water clock...
Made in China....
Made in the UK...
