One of the many halls that you can not enter - but the outside is impressive. Lot of people here. The sculptures are amazing and each have its own history. I rented the audio guide, but it was such a poor quality that I did not use it. So I read up on it after I got back.

This part of the Forbidden City seemed to have a better "vibe", with people more upbeat and appreciating what they were seeing. The bronze statues were certainly interesting and quite quirky in their intricate design. The hall itself was equally impressive. Crowded, like all parts in the area, but still easy enough to find a quiet corner and take it all in.
