Hall of Surpeme Harmony

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was where important ceremonies like the enthronement of an emperor would take place and meeting foreign delegations. The Dragon Throne is located here but I could not get a photo given the crush of people and the bright sun and dark interior.

The hall is built on a marble base and the central marble staircase, crowded with Chinese tourists, was to be used only by the emperor.
