of pomp and majesty that transcends the ages. Now it still abounds with the
sense of grandeur and wealth as it did in ancient.
There are nearly 10,000 rooms come together
to form one of the best-preserved historical sites in China. The Forbidden City
consists of three parts: the outer court where the emperor handled court
business and ministered state affairs; the inner court where the emperor’s
family lived; and the private imperial garden for entertain and relaxation. Besides,
they have ruled this country from here more than 500 years.

Located in Lhasa and built on a mountain slope over 4000 m above sea level, the Potala Palace

and some other accompanying buildings. Though
constructed at different times, these buildings are all in harmony with the
surrounding terrain, so that the whole building complex appears magnificent and
integrated.
