Enormous Forbidden City Gate

This is the second gate you pass through when walking south to north through the Forbidden City. Be sure to look up at the detail in the painting as you are passing through. The gate is quite large and very imposing.

Actually it’s the Gate of Supreme Harmony to be precise

The Gate of Supreme Harmony is the main gate of the Outer Court and is one of the more grand gates leading to the different squares. It’s pretty impressive from a distance and the best shots are from the Golden water bridges over the stream...More
