The Forbidden City complex in the cof Beijing was the royal residence and seat of the Chinese government for five centuries. The impressive complex contains more than 8,700 rooms, in buildings constructed without a single nail or drop of glue. In the first part our special series on this architectural wonder, we look at the durable construction techniques that have allowed the Forbidden City to withstand the test of time.
This is part one of a series made in collaboration with the the SCMP Infographics team. The videos are based on their work chronicling the stories behind Beijing's majestic Forbidden City.

"But,since its building were almost entirely made by wood, The forbidden city had one enemy feared, above all others".... instantly I was thinking : termites.

@@Element_Z48 Another ignorant creature who is not even aware that most of China National Treasures has already been moved to Taiwan long before Mao came into power. Not to mention the fact Mao did not touch or burnt down the forbidden City even during the cultural revolutions. I'm not Chinese but Even I know about this. Sure they should be grateful to those foreign countries if they ever return back the artefacts. Until then it's a fair game to all.

You adopt a too microscopic point of view in the same way as denying the survival of a person since most of his cells get changed when he grows. As long as the layout and architecture keep the same, we say it survived.

@@shemuelgallardovivarsjourn8814 yes, Zhu Huanzang later known as Emperor Hongwu was the founder of Ming Dynasty, the dynasty which built Forbidden City, he was the son of a poor peasant farmer, pandemic and famine, killed of his entire family, leaving only him and one brother. Starving, he started his path as beggar, then become a monk to get free meal from temple only to be kicked out due to his temperament and laziness to study Buddhism, not wanting back as beggar he join rebels and started rising until he became the boss of the rebel group, he defeated all his rival and chasing Mongols out of China and built the Ming Dynasty, it's pretty similar with Communist China actually, Mao Zedong was a son of poor peasant farmer, he reminds Chinese people of Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Liu Bang of Han Dynasty, both was dubbed People's Emperor due to their humble background

The Olympic facilities are now used in addition to the landmarks to increase tourism. The Great Wall has become a miracle of world cultural heritage. Its commercial value has made it a popular tourist destination. The continuous construction of the city is the result of the modernization of the city. China has a population of 1.4 billion. I need a lot of housing construction transportation facilities. On the contrary, I think the Fukushima nuclear facility is a one-time building.
