  • The Palace is the third of the "official" part of the forbidden city. Similar to that of Supreme Harmony but on a smaller scale, was where the emperor was preparing at official ceremonies and where they held official banquets. Accacnto in this building you notice an enormous sculpture of nine dragons playing with beads. Made out of a single piece of marble of over two hundred tons burden along more than fifteen meters is a spectacular piece not to be missed.
