Co-produced by CCTV9 and the Palace Museum, Forbidden City 100 features a hundred different locations within the Palace Museum all revealing the unseen cultural significance and history of China.  The 100 locations include the well-known buildings standing on the central axis: the Meridian Gate as well as three main palaces on the axis – Hall of Supreme Harmony, Hall of Central Harmony and the Hall of Preserving Harmony. Also highlighted in the series are places that either not accessible to tourists or have never been shown on TV before. The documentary series also illustrates building features such as dou-gong (bracket system) and golden bricks, small structural features that explain the inner meanings of Chinese building and culture.
