This is one of my favorite pictures (I confess I didn't take it). It shows nicely the creatures that adorn the roof edges of almost all the buildings inside the Forbidden City. The very end is always a little man riding a bird of some sort. The largest hall within the City has the most number of these creatures, at 11. I wish I knew what each of these creatures represent, especially the chicken guy (as we have endowed him).
