About the article "Forbidden City", section "Symbolism".

Candidate passages:
The New Beijing Poly Plaza was completed in 2007.
It was designed for the China Poly Group Corporation to serve as their new corporate headquarters, as well as a mix of commercial and cultural uses.
It is located in Beijing, China northeast of the Forbidden City. 
Fata Morgana, the forbidden city, also known as 1001 Arabian Nights (or "1001 nachten" in Dutch) is a dark ride in amusement park Efteling in the Netherlands.
It was designed by Ton van de Ven and Jan Verhoeven and opened in 1986. 
Forbidden City may refer to:  The Forbidden City of Beijing  The Ming Palace, or the Forbidden City of Nanjing  The Imperial City, Huế, known as the Purple Forbidden City in Vietnamese  Forbidden City (nightclub), Asian-themed cabaret in San Francisco  Forbidden City (novel), written by William E. Bell  Forbidden City (Electronic song), a song by Electronic  Timbuktu during the Middle Ages  
Currently, the Palace Museum is responsible for the preservation and restoration of the Forbidden City.
Building heights around the Forbidden City are restricted.
In 2005, a sixteen-year restoration project was started to repair and restore all buildings in the Forbidden City to their pre-1912 state.
This is the largest restoration of the Forbidden City undertaken in two centuries, and involves progressively closing off sections of the Forbidden City for assessment, repairs, and restoration.
Also as part of the project, some derelict or destroyed sections are being rebuilt.
The gardens of the Palace of Establishing Prosperity, destroyed by fire in 1923, were rebuilt in 2005, but remain closed to the public.
The interior was also designed in a different style, and the buildings are used by visiting dignitaries.
While effort has been made to prevent the commercialisation of the palace, a variety of commercial enterprises exist, such as souvenir shops and photography stands.
These commercial enterprises often rouse controversy.
A Starbucks store, which opened in 2000, sparked objections and eventually closed on July 13, 2007.
Chinese media also took notice of a pair of souvenir shops that refused to admit Chinese citizens in 2006.
According to the reports, the purpose was to preserve an atmosphere where foreigners could be victims of price gouging.
The Palace Museum promised to investigate the matter.
Some commentators, such as influential Phoenix TV host Luqiu Luwei, have further questioned the whole practice of renting out premises in the Forbidden City as retail space.
In 2005, IBM Corporation and the Palace Museum announced a joint project to build a World Wide Web-based virtual model of the Forbidden City and associated sites in Beijing.
The online cultural heritage project, titled "The Forbidden City: Beyond Space and Time", will be presented in both English and Chinese, and provide interactive, three-dimensional, representations of Forbidden City structures and cultural artefacts.
The virtual Forbidden City will consist of some 800 buildings, and will launch sometime during 2008.

Palace of Tranquil LongevityThe Forbidden City is a rectangle, measuring from north to south and from east to west.
It consists of 980 surviving buildings with 8,886 bays of rooms; however this figure may not include various antechambers.
Another common figure points to 9,999 rooms including antechambers; although this number is frequently cited, it is likely an oral tradition, and it is not supported by survey evidence.
The Forbidden City was designed to be the centre of the ancient, walled city of Beijing.
It is enclosed in a larger, walled area called the Imperial City.
The Imperial City is, in turn, enclosed by the Inner City; to its south lies the Outer City.
The Forbidden City remains important in the civic scheme of Beijing.
The central north–south axis remains the central axis of Beijing.
This axis extends to the south through Tiananmen gate to Tiananmen Square, the ceremonial centre of the People's Republic of China, and on to Yongdingmen.
To the north, it extends through Jingshan Hill to the Bell and Drum Towers.
This axis is not exactly aligned north–south, but is tilted by slightly more than two degrees.
Researchers now believe that the axis was designed in the Yuan dynasty to be aligned with Xanadu, the other capital of their empire.
