Firstly, COLD! It was interesting to see through the emperors palaces. Mostly walking around outside and looking through the opened but fenced off doors into the palace halls. The main halls where the emperor lived and ruled from had thrones on display. In the surrounding buildings where important guests stayed the buildings house the museum collections. We had a look into one with paintings and another with pottery most going back 1000 years.
The scale of the place is incredible. The main buildings are on bases of marble and the beams are huge. The stones in the gates are massive and there is one carved stone that sits between the stairs that weighs 200 tonnes.
Tomorrow the wall.
