For nearly five centuries, emperors ruled China from the seat of a dragon throne, hidden from the world behind a moat more than 150 feet wide and a wall more than 30 feet high. Their palace in Beijing, the heart of imperial China, was a sprawling city unto itself - "The Forbidden City". This spectacular tour provides a first-hand look into the private lives of the emperors, a world previously witnessed only by the imperial family, the emperor's many concubines and the thousands of eunuchs and serving maids that formed the system's backbone. Forbidden City: The Great Within, paints a fascinating portrait of the world's oldest bureaucracy, its extravagant palaces, exquisite gardens and enigmatic rulers.
