九龍壁

The Kowloon Wall of the Forbidden City Ningshou Palace was built in Qianlong in 41 years, which is the only Kowloon Wall of the three existing Kowloon Walls in China, the fifth dragon is the Zhenglong Dragon, which is yellow and represents the supreme emperor.

After Datong saw the Kowloon Wall, I have been thinking about looking at this Kowloon Wall in the Forbidden City. I want to make a comparison. This Kowloon wall in the Forbidden City, outside the imperial gate of Ningshou Palace in the eastern district of the Forbidden City, is a single-sided glass shadow wall built against the palace wall, burned when it was rebuilt for the 37th year of Qing Qianlong (1772). But to see this Kowloon Wall, you need to buy tickets for the exhibition held at Ningshou Palace. The Kowloon Wall in the Forbidden City seems to be bigger than the Kowloon Wall in Datong I remember, and the glaze of the nine dragons is more colorful.

Beihai Park Kowloon Wall, located on the north side of Tushan on the north bank of Beihai Park. The Kowloon Wall is5.96 meters high,25.52 meters long and1.6 meters thick. The Kowloon Wall of Beihai Park is double-sided, with 9 dragons in different shapes carved in front and back, vivid and lifelike. The wall is also carved with seawater, flowing clouds. The east and west side of the wall, carved with the sun rising, the moon when the sky pattern.

The Kowloon Wall of the Forbidden City is located in Xiqingmen, behind the south of the Huangjimen. The wall is long 29.47m, high 3.59m, thick 0.459m, weighing more than 300 tons. It is a single-sided glass shadow wall built against the palace wall, which was burned when Qianlong was rebuilt in 37 years (1770). The upper part of the Kowloon Wall is the roof of the yellow glazed tiled palace, the lower part is the imitation wood structure of the scorpion, scorpion, and bucket. The wall is decorated with clouds and water as the base, and the blue and green are divided into two colors. The lower part is the Han white jade, which is dignified and solemn.

One of the representative buildings in Beihai Park is also one of the places where tourists must punch in. There is a deep human history and history, representing the traditional culture of China, although the place is not very big, but it is of great significance.
