The West Route

Forbidden City, Beijing

The emperor's women once lived in this section of the city. There are six halls and each hall has its own courtyard. The Chinese emperors were polygamists, they could have as many wives as they wished. The pavillion in the distance belongs to The Park With A View where one can get an overall view of the Forbidden City.
