What is this famous location, which is nowadays a museum? What city is it in (might be a bit away from current city centre)?

It looks like I've again chosen something too difficult.

Here's a zoomed out picture of the same location.

looks like i should biuld in some clues...

...north is on the right side.

hight is about 7100 feet.

some "british" is not too far away...

the "special" is (imho) best to see with viewable reticule.

should be enough at first help...

Here it is. I want to know:

- What is it?
- Where do you find it (City and/or Country)?

I'm sure it's not to hard for you. Good luck.

It's a Palace City thing in Baijing, China!

The green arrow is pointing to Baijing and just a tiny bit south-west of it is the building!

Neather2 added the Baijing part after I posted it. Then I edited to show the photo. But it's fine if Neather2 goes.

I think you need to leave it a bit longer. Give another day for people to research. Now that I'm back at work I can't come to the site very often and I have little time for map gazing. You're still on holiday Many of us are working.

Elfstone.
