Inside the Underground Palace




In some ways the Underground Palace was a disappointment. A great deal of the underground part is really ugly--cavernous empty concrete rooms. However, some of the details are very interesting & beautiful. There are enormous marble doors and interesting passageways. And what is it about leaving money at certain places. Here you see a lot of Chinese currency in what looks like a throne room. Is it the same impulse that moves people to toss coins in fountains?
