The Forbidden City


The Forbidden City

The Forbidden City is a vast network of palaces, including 5 halls, 17 palaces, and numerous other buildings.






The number of statues on the roof
of palaces indicates how important
the building is.  10 is the highest possible number.







Notice the new coat of paint.
 
Note the brass water contaniers.
They were used to hold water in case of fire.
All the buldings in this area are made of wood.
