Setup
Set aside all bonus tiles from the base game. You use them only if you are instructed to do so.
Shuffle all the new bonus tiles and place them as a face-down stack. Reveal the top 2 bonus tiles and place them face up beside the stack.
Whenever you complete a panorama, take 1 face-up bonus tile. Then reveal 1 new tile from the stack.
Using the Bonus Tiles
The new bonus tiles are used in different ways and at different times (see the timing note next to each tile's name).
At game end, reveal your bonus tiles and check whether you receive additional favor.
New Bonus Tiles
Each tile is listed with its name and its timing, followed by its effect.
Foresight / At the start of your turn
Reveal 3 additional cards from the draw deck, so that 6 cards lie face up in the open display with their building side up. At the end of your turn, you must take 3 cards from the display. (You may not draw face-down from the deck!)
After you have used Foresight, flip it over and leave it face down in front of you. At game end, you receive 2 additional favor for it.
Sabotage / During your turn
Place the Sabotage on a building card of another player. No resources may be placed on this card.
Remove the Sabotage at the start of your next turn, flip it over, and leave it face down in front of you.
Blessing / During your turn
In this turn, you may play and/or discard up to 4 hand cards in order to perform actions. At the end of your turn, draw cards until you have 5 cards in hand again.
After you have used Blessing, flip it over and leave it face down in front of you.
Helping Hand / During your turn
Discard 1 hand card. Turn over and rearrange the floors of the pagoda as you wish. Then take all resources from your pagoda side, either from top to bottom or from bottom to top, until your storage is full or you have taken all resources from this side.
After you have used Helping Hand, flip it over and leave it face down in front of you.

Component Notes
The artwork on each tile shows a pictogram (for example an eye with "+2", a crossed-out symbol, a stack of cards, a pagoda with a circular arrow, cards with "+2", "1/3/5", "+1" with resources, "×2 ×2", a cube between arrows, or a cube with "+2"). The timing and effect text printed on each tile is complete and is the authoritative description above.
