Join us as we unlock the gates of the Forbidden City and uncover the stories hidden within China's most iconic palace. The Forbidden City, the world's largest surviving palace complex and the seat of power for 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties.More than just a magnificent collection of palaces, the Forbidden City was a carefully designed political and cosmic centre where architecture, symbolism, and imperial authority came together. In this engaging talk, we will explore the fascinating history behind its construction, uncover the meanings hidden within its grand halls and intricate layouts, and examine how every colour, number, and architectural feature reflected the worldview of imperial China.
Beyond the bricks and tiles, the Forbidden City is also home to countless stories. Learn about the emperors who ruled from behind its crimson walls, mysterious palace legends, dramatic power struggles, and little-known anecdotes that bring this vast palace complex to life.
