The Daxiangling-Tusita Scenic Area (大香林·兜率天景区) is located in the western end of Huiji Mountain (会稽山) in Keqiao District (柯桥区), Shaoxing City (绍兴市) and covers about 4 square km. It is divided into three realms: Daxiangling, Longhua Temple, and Tusita, also known as the Heavenly Palace. The cylindrical part in the middle of Tusita is the Heavenly Courtyard (or inner courtyard) which enshrines the world's largest indoor seated Buddha, the 33-meter-high Maitreya statue.

$he Forbidden City was constructed from 1406 to 1420, and was the former Chinese imperial palace and winter residence of the Emperor of China from the Ming dynasty (since the Yongle Emperor) to the end of the Qing dynasty, between 1420 and 1924. The Forbidden City served as the home of Chinese emperors and their households and was the ceremonial and political center of the Chinese government for over 500 years. Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork and artifacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987.\nThe complex consists of 980 buildings, encompassing 8,886 rooms and covering 720,000 square metres (72 hectares)/178 acres. The palace exemplifies the opulence of the residences of the Chinese emperor and the traditional Chinese palatial architecture and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere.$
