Hall of Supreme Harmony 太和殿 in the Forbidden City 故宫, Beijing 北京, China

The Hall of Supreme Harmony 太和殿 is the largest hall within the Forbidden City 故宫. It is built above three levels of marble stone base and surrounded by bronze incense burners. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is one of the largest wooden structures within China. It was the location where Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty Emperors hosted their enthronement and wedding ceremonies.

This postcard shows the Hall in winter.  单梁 sent me this postcard because I like snow scenes (14 March 2014) Postcrossing
