Workers erect scaffolding at the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the
heart of the Forbidden City, Beijing March 29, 2006. The palace is going through
its first facelift in three centuries. Commonly known as the Jinluan Palace, it
housed significant events like the crowning of emperors and the declaration of
wars during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties and thus, had
the greatest political importance of all buildings in the royal complex.
