A visitor admires a Buddha statue at the Zhongzheng Palace, whose reconstruction was completed yesterday along with Yuhuage and other Tibetan Buddhist palaces and buildings in the northwest corner of Beijing's Forbidden City. Traditional materials and techniques were used to restore the buildings to how they looked in the Qianlong Period (1736-1795). The palaces served as the central area for Tibetan Buddhist activities during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) but were destroyed by fire in 1923. They will now house a Tibetan Buddhism research center and exhibition halls.
