Pictures from the Forbidden City

Took me a long time to load these pictures as they can only be loaded one at a time instead of 5..sigh...


Entrance to the Forbidden City...


One of the Halls...



Picture of the ranking of the imperial concubines


Can't remember what this is...


Stuff that the concubines make in their spare time


Wedding lantern


One of the courtyards that the concubines lived in


Those endless passageways linking the different courtyards


The place is full of these alleys and doorways linking the courtyards up


Artifacts


Pavilion from the imperial garden at the back of the Forbidden City
