We enter the compound of the concubine who became the Empress Dowager, last Empress of the Manchu dynasty.  Notice the imperial dragon, the firefighting vat, the tree and the Chinese matron having her picture taken.  Most of the Chinese visiting the Forbidden City are not locals but tourists from other parts of China.   Sound familiar?
