After the rain, the waters surrounding the Forbidden City in Beijing reflected the beauty of the ancient corner towers against the bright blue sky.

Situated on the four corners of the Forbidden City, the corner towers were constructed in 1420. They used to function as defense posts, and for this reason they are also known as the watchtowers.
