Forbidden City -- Introduction

The Imperial Gardens--Yuhuayuan

  The imperial Garden is 90 meters (98.5 yards) long from north to south and 130 meters (142 yards) wide from east to west.

Hall of Imperial Peace (Qin'andian)
The main building in the garden, Qin'andian (Hall of Imperial Peace), is situated on the central axis of the Forbidden City, with a number of pavilions, terraces and towers arranged symmetrically to the east and west. With most of the buildings set against the palace wall, the garden looks quite spacious.The hall of Imperial peace is a Taoist temple and the religious building along the central axis. Inside the hall stands the statue of the king of Xuan Wu, who was believed to be the God of water and could prevent the palace building from catching fire.In front of the hall are two 400-yearl-od cypress tress with their branches entwined. The 4-meter-high (13-foot-high incense) burner in the garden is the biggest bronze incense burner in the Forbidden City. The six smoke outlets are in the shape of two dragons playing with a ball.
