Lonely Planet review for Imperial Archives

Tucked away on the first road east of the Forbidden City is the former Imperial Archives, repository for the imperial records, decrees, the ‘Jade Book’ (the imperial genealogical record) and huge encyclopedic works, including the Yongle Dadian and the Daqing Huidian. With strong echoes of the splendid imperial palace, the courtyard contains well-preserved halls – peer through the closed door of the main hall and make out the chests in which the archives were stored.
