Editing Forbidden City (section)

=== Depiction in art, film, literature and popular culture ===
The Forbidden City has served as the scene to many works of fiction. In recent years, it has been depicted in films and television series. Some notable examples include:
*''[[The Forbidden City (film)|The Forbidden City]]'' (1918), a fiction film about a Chinese emperor and an American.
*''[[The Last Emperor]]'' (1987), a [[biographical film]] about [[Puyi]], was the first feature film ever authorised by the government of the People's Republic of China to be filmed in the Forbidden City.
*''[[Forbidden City Cop]]'' (1996), a Hong Kong [[wuxia]] comedy film about an imperial secret agent.
*''[[Marco Polo (1982 TV series)|Marco Polo]]'' (1982), a joint [[NBC]] and [[RAI]] [[miniseries]] filmed inside the Forbidden City. Note, however, that the present Forbidden City did not exist during the Mongol-led [[Yuan dynasty]], when [[Marco Polo]] met [[Kublai Khan]].
*The 2003 real-time strategy game ''[[Rise of Nations]]'' depicts the Forbidden City as one of the great wonders of the world; in terms of game mechanics, it functions identically to a major city and provides additional resources to the player.
*The Forbidden City is a buildable Wonder in many different titles of the [[Civilization (series)|''Civilization'']] series of video games.
