Gate
of Benevolence and Longevity, also called Renshoumen, is the second
gate of the palace area. The annex halls on both sides were used for
officials on duty.
Inside
the gate, there is a giant Taihu rock more than three meters high and
was moved from ShaoYuan (the Herbal Peony Garden) in the present Beijing
University, which was the residency of the Ming official Miwanzhong
and later Prince Morgan's Garden in the Qing Dynasty.
The rocks
in the courtyard are decorations transported
from Tai Lake in Jiangsu Province.
