The Emperor's Secret Garden (2014x14)

Fecha de emisión: Mar 15, 2014

Tucked away in the Forbidden City's north-east corner in Beijing, lies a unique group of buildings that had lain unused for more than two hundred years. This exquisite Forbidden City in miniature, the Qianlong Garden, was built as a retirement complex for the Qing dynasty's Qianlong Emperor. The restoration of the Lodge of Retirement is the first ever international collaboration for the Palace Museum.
