Forbidden City Beijing: Brief introduction about Hall of Imperial Zenith.

 

Hall of Imperial Zenith

Layout of this hall is quite similar to that of the Qianqinggong Hall as it has towering eaves. The building complex was believed to have been built for Emperor's Qianlong's later years after his abdication. The Hall was left empty nearly for a century after Emperor Qianlong's death. The Dowager Empress Cixi used to receive the foreign envoys and enjoy the performances by folk opera troupes in the hall. After her death, her coffin was placed here for the memorial ceremony.
