The complex is HUGE and dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1402) and consists of a staggering 980 buildings.
Its the world's largest surviving palace.
Though interesting in winter I think it deserves a glorious summer's day to do it justice and you can get a glimpse of that here (there ARE other pictures lurking somewhere in this blog but I can't be bothered to run down the inks- its getting really late!)

Looks magical. Vaguely and strangely like your old stomping ground in some respects. Hope all are now suitably "rugged-up" to face the Great Wall, without wet feet and cold ears.
Take care
