520 Serving as the seat of imperial power for six centuries,
the Forbidden City is one of China's most famous and
enigmatic landmarks. Accompanied by a mischievous cat,
readers will tour this colossal architectural structure,
discovering the secrets hidden inside the palace walls.
They will encounter the people who have walked through its
halls and gardens, including emperors, empresses, and
rebel leaders, and hear exciting tales about the power
struggles and intrigues of everyday life. This large
format book conveys the grandeur of the Forbidden City
through highly detailed line drawings of its buildings,
gardens, and courtyards with numerous foldout spreads.
Each page is populated by a large variety of characters
and peppered with entertaining anecdotes. Every book
includes a plastic magnifying glass for looking at the
drawings more closely.
