T... Square and the Forbidden City

The Gate of Heavenly Peace with Mao's very large photo - this gate takes you from Tiananmen's Square into the Forbidden City.

These large bronze vats were used to store water for fire extinguishing.

The number of mythical animals on a rooftop tells your family's worth and importance. The more animals, the more important your family was.

Carson ready to extinguish any Imperial fires.
