Features: Across the border of China is a land of ancient wonders that has been too often misunderstood for us to pass without stare. Across the wall of the Forbidden City is a spirit of beauty and power that has been too long veiled for us to stare without touch. Five hundred years is long but also short, giving merely the last glance of the imperial pedigree onto the bounded but deemed boundless empire. Architecture is rich but yet pale, intelligent days and nights of all the dwellers inside invisible embrace of the emperor.
