Standing on a high wall of nearly 10 meters, reflected in the 52-meter wide moat, it moves and quietly, one virtual and one real, which is like a Chinese landscape painting. The turret is a square pavilion with triple eaves, overlaid with a cross-ridged Xieshan roof, on four sides, each of which has 7 wing corners up and down, a total of 28 wing corners. Therefore, no matter you look at the turret from any angle, the interconnected wing corners will make you dizzy. The beauty of Huifei can be a model of ancient Chinese architecture.

When you read the turret, you are reading the years it bears, and it is not yourself.
【角楼记忆-城市人们心里对古建的记忆】紫禁城的角楼，隔着筒子河，已经被凝视了600年，被相机拍了近100年，因为它美的一眼难忘。矗立在近10米的高墙之上，倒映在52米宽的护城河之中，一动一静，一虚一实，这是如中国山水画一般的美感。角楼是座三重檐的方亭，上覆十字脊歇山屋顶，四个面，每一面都上下攒聚起7个翼角，一共28个翼角。所以，无论站在任何角度看角楼，互相关联的翼角都让你目不暇接，翬飞之美堪为中国古建筑的典范。 角楼600年来，阅尽了无数沧桑变迁，却始终陪伴着一代代人，一代代爱它的人又一直修缮保护着它。读角楼，读的是它承载的岁月，读得又何尝不是自己。
