During the (lenghty) Celebrations to celebrate her 50Th Birthday, the Empress-Dowager Hsu Tzi ("Cixi") had a grand peking opera staged in the Palace for her enjoyment. The Courtyard and Hallway walls of the Palace of Eternal Spring are lined with magnificent scenes from the Famous Chinese Novel "A Dream of Red Mansion". The Multitude of scenes from the story-line of this chinese classic, albeit now fading with time, add a romantic and colorful touch to this already lavishly decorated Palace.
