Yeah. I think almost every city is a mixture of different landmarks from their area. Even parts of Jangan are probably taken from the Forbidden City.

pretty cool topic. Im not exactly sure if hotan was modeled after the taj mahal i think joymax took creative initative on hotan because no one knows what anchient hotan looks like. what ever it did (at around 800AD) which is when sro takes place was prior to it conquering by muslim armies which destroyed and rebuilt the city.

Constantinople like most roman cities had a colosseum like arena where gladiatorial and other events were held. and Jangan is not the forbiden city. the forrbiden city is located in Bejing (or Peking) while Jangan is based of the chinese capital Chan'ang
