There are many temples in the Forbidden City and on the ends of the roofs there are gold dragons. The number of dragons tells you how important the building is. For example: A building with ten dragons is more important than one with seven.

The Forbidden City.
November 21st P.M.
According to my timetable we are going on a 'culture explore' and board the bus for the Forbidden City. You will see from the pictures that it is a very special place. The pot shown on the left is one of four at the entrance to the biggest temple. They were filled with water and were meant to be used if the temple caught fire. They did realise that they wouldn't work after a while, so they were never used.
