Workers build scaffolding at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which is
receiving its first facelift in three centuries, in the heart of the Forbidden
City in China's capital, Beijing March 29, 2006. The palace commonly known as
the Jinluan Palace housed the highest-ranking events, 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, China Daily reported. [Reuters]
