Résumé en anglais
As the most famous heritage site of China, theForbidden City not only represent masterpieces in the development
imperial palace architecture, but also carry profound culturalinformation and evidence to the living traditions and the customs of
Han and Manchu, which was considered as the spirit of the place.But today the historic and cultural information of the Forbidden
City has lost a lot due to the deteriorated environment. In recentyears, the excessive tourism with approximately 10 million visitors
per year has obviously threatened the historic buildings and thelandscape too. In order to preserving the site, people have to be
