The Forbidden City is a UNESCO World Heritage site, completed in 1420 and covering over 720,000 square meters. As the

former imperial palace of 24 Ming and Qing emperors, it is now the Palace Museum, home to more than 1.86 million cultural

relics and one of the world’s highest-traffic museum destinations. Yet its scale and symbolic spatial logic can be difficult for

visitors to understand through static maps or linear text alone.
