Gate, Xihuang Temple, Beijing, China

The grounds of Xihuang Temple, Beijing, are closed to the public. I tried to enter several times, and was always turned back. Too bad: It features a "Diamond Throne" (complex pagoda) built by the Qianlong emperor to house the clothing and books of the Sixth Panchen Lama, who died in Beijing in 1780.
