About About the place

The Hall of Great Supremacy, also known as the Hall of Ultimate Principle or Hall of Supreme Being, historically served as living quarters for Imperial concubines. Notably, the last Emperor Pu Yi’s concubine resided here. The hall is distinguished by its impressive stone carving, which guests are prohibited from walking upon, and the striking color contrast between the pillars and the stone bridge. While architecturally similar to other structures within the Forbidden City, it offers a glimpse into the private lives of the imperial court.
