Roof decorations by filipdebont
Al the buildings in the Forbidden City were very richly decorated. But it is really worth to stop and pay attention on the decorations on the roofs.Almost every roof has those small statues. these statues represent persons, demons and animals (dragons).
I was told that these satues were there to keep the bad ghosts away.
Above these satties you see a kind of wire, that is just to keep the birds away.
