Image was scanned from color slide.

Note: Tiananmen Gate is often referred to as the front entrance to the Forbidden City. However, the Meridian Gate is the first entrance to the Forbidden City proper, while Tiananmen was the entrance to the Imperial City, within which the Forbidden City was located.--Wikipedia.

For almost 500 years, it served as the home of emperors and their households, as well as the ceremonial and political center of Chinese government.--Wikipedia.
