The ArcView Slides

These are a different breed of slides. They show the Palace by "points" rather than by "tracks."

Take a look at the points between right center all the way up to left central center. These are the points, just in inside the wall, where the 1,000 women were.






These do "tracks" also. The track at the top is a part of "hills which face each other," where the king would go with his favorites from the 1,000 women.


Below is the route we took following the Chinese Medical Facility. It is "heart-shaped" over by the large structure.

These can be large, click them!

The Beijing Archaeological Survey


If you hover over the "Play" button and hit the right button, you'll get a set of four options. Go to the top option and click on it. This will extend the play function so that it will "loop" through the play feature. In other words it will go on and on, rather than just one time through!

Look for the darkest line on the map. This traces the Sung Palace Wall 700 years ago. 

It was done in 2011 but they don't have the Moule map!


This is map with the Beijing Survey and the Moule map draped over it - plus the elevation map.


Here is a 3D map, again of the Beijing Survey. Have your red-blue glasses ready!

The 18 Lohans

Here we come in our walk to the eighteen Lohans. These were the followers of the Buddha, each with an individual personality.  This particular person could have been the Buddha!










This regal fellow is another Lohan, but he has an individual personality.













 These not-so-regal individuals are two more Lohans.










This individual is a Lohan, but remember we don't have all eighteen!













Here we have an old man. He is very regal!
