The majestic Male bronze lion stands guard at the Gate of Supreme Harmony, welcoming visitors to the enchanting Outer Court of the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. This iconic landmark, known for its grandeur and historical significance, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Asia. As we wander through this captivating courtyard, reminiscent of Rambling Sketches in Dieppe or Hoghton Tower in Lancashire, we are transported back in time. The Outer Court of Winchester College comes to life before our eyes with its vibrant colors and lively atmosphere captured in a stunning lithograph commemorating its Five Hundredth Anniversary. Further exploring this realm steeped in history, we stumble upon Holyrood Palace and Abbey depicted intricately on an engraving.

The Top Fore-Hall Stair beckons us to ascend further into this architectural marvel. Traveling across time and space takes us to 19th century London where La Belle Sauvage's Outer Court leaves an indelible mark on our memories. An engraving transports us back to witness its bustling energy and charm during that era. Finally, we find ourselves mesmerized by the Inner Golden Water river flowing gracefully through the heart of the Outer Court within the Forbidden City. Its tranquil presence adds another layer of serenity amidst all these historic wonders. Whether it be admiring ancient engravings or immersing ourselves in real-life experiences at renowned landmarks like Beijing's Forbidden City or London's La Belle Sauvage, there is something truly magical about stepping foot into these outer courts that have witnessed centuries unfold before them.
