Palace Museum witnesses changing China
When Reginald Johnston, a British scholar, first walked into the Forbidden City in the spring of 1919, the vast walled enclosure in the heart of Beijing was "in the strictest sense 'forbidden' to all the world except those who had the entree."
Now it holds the world's busiest museum, receiving more than 17 million visitors every year.
