B:How luxurious the Hall looks!

A:Would you like to know how extravagant the Dowager's life was here?

B:Of course. Go ahead, please.

A:Just take one of her meals as an example.

For each meal, there were 128 courses and over 50 kinds of rice, steamed bread and noodles.

B:Incredible!

A:Let's go to some other places, where there are lots of things worth seeing,

such as the Long Corridor, the Hall of Dispelling clouds, the Marble Boat, and the Temple of the Dragon King.
