Talk: Forbidden City
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
Image:Forbidden_City_Beijing.jpg needs to be inserted in Tiananmen Gate when it exists as an article. --Jiang
- That image is appropriate here, in addition to the new aerial view. The three tiny semi-circular holes are probably just entrances, like the caption says, and basically part of the wall of the city. The real Tiananmen Gate should be at the front of the square, not attached to the city wall. It's quite tall, made of white stone I think.
- The Tiananmen Gate is described already as the second paragraph Tiananmen Square. The only article that links to Tiananmen Gate is this one, so separation may not be necessary. The question is: Is the gate really that separated from the square? If not, we should redirect and remove its reference (being the double, along with Tiananmen Square) from this article. --Menchi 06:11, 16 Oct 2003 (UTC)
The article first says the city has over 800 buildings and then says that it has 9,999.5. Which is it?
- 9,999.5. That's the way I heard it in Beijing. --DF08 13:40, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
I heard the same in Beijing too, however how do you have 0.5 room? Surely it is a room in its own right ;)
--Cchipman 01:16, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC) How come there is no explanation of why it is called the forbidden city?
