You may exit the Palace the way you came. Once you arrive at the brick path outside Khiem Cung Gate, you may proceed about 500 feet due northwest till you reach the forecourt preceding the Stele Pavilion, the easternmost node of a second axis along which the Necropolis buildings are arranged. This axis lies parallel to the first line where the palace and the boat landing lie.
The forecourt is lined with the usual honor guard of horses, elephants, and mandarins. The mandarins are smaller than usual – this was on purpose, as the Emperor was a diminutive man.
