The Qing dynasty (Chinese: 清朝; pinyin: Qīng Cháo; Wade–Giles: Ch'ing Ch'ao; IPA: [tɕʰíŋ tʂʰɑ̌ʊ̯]), officially the Great Qing (Chinese: 大清; pinyin: Dà Qīng), also called the Empire of the Great Qing, or the Manchu dynasty, was the last imperial dynasty of China, ruling from 1644 to 1912 with a brief, abortive restoration in 1917. It was preceded by the Ming dynasty and succeeded by the Republic of China. The Qing multi-cultural empire lasted almost three centuries and formed the territorial base for the modern Chinese state.

The Forbidden City is a 1918 American silent film starring Norma Talmadge and Thomas Meighan and directed by Sidney Franklin. A copy of the film is in the Library of Congress and other film archives.
The plot centers around an inter-racial romance between a Chinese princess (Talmage) and an American (Meighan). When palace officials discover she has become pregnant she is sentenced to death. In the latter part of the film Talmadge plays the now adult daughter of the affair, seeking her father in the Philippines.
The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming dynasty to the end of the Qing dynasty—the years 1420 to 1912. It is located in the center of what is now known as Beijing, (formerly Peking) China, and now houses the Palace Museum. It served as the home of emperors and their households as well as the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government for almost 500 years.
Constructed from 1406 to 1420, the complex consists of 980 buildings and covers 72 ha (180 acres). The palace complex exemplifies traditional Chinese palatial architecture, and has influenced cultural and architectural developments in East Asia and elsewhere. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.
Since 1925, the Forbidden City has been under the charge of the Palace Museum, whose extensive collection of artwork and artefacts were built upon the imperial collections of the Ming and Qing dynasties. Part of the museum's former collection is now located in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. Both museums descend from the same institution, but were split after the Chinese Civil War. With over 14 million annual visitors, the Palace Museum is the most visited Museum in the world.

With the dynasties of the Ming and the Qing came social security and flourishing international trade. The White Lotus Movement advocated progressive thinking in the time of the conservative Ming dynasty. In 1616 the Qing dynasty came to power. Also known as the Manchu dynasty, the Qing refused to open their borders to limitless trade which led to frustrated European merchants. This caused hostility and mistrust of the "barbaric Chinese". Shortly thereafter China's economy lost its race against European Colonialism and would lose military influence after gunpowder reached Europe.

The Great Qing (Pure) Dynasty, also known as the Manchu Dynasty, came to power in Manchuria (as the Later Jin) and in 1644 succeeding in taking control of all of China from the crumbling Ming dynasty. During their rule Imperial China reached its peak of size and power, particularly under the Emperors KangXi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. In the 19th Century rebellions and foreign pressure increased and the fortunes of the dynasty began to recede. Despite an attempt at reform in 1901 the Qing Empire fell in 1912 with the abdication of the last Emperor. There was a short restoration during the First World War but the era of the warlords and the Republic was not to be suppressed.

For Chinese visitors, there are three most famous walking streets in Beijing. According to their fame and popularity, they are Wangfujing Walking Street, the number one walking street in China; Dashilar, the old shopping street with many century old establishments and Liulichang Cultural Street, mainly for antiques and arts. Dashilar, also called Dazhalar, is a 300 meters long, 9 meters wide commercial street with a history of more than 500 years. Dashilar literally means Big Fence or Great Fence in Chinese, because curfews were frequently imposed at night during the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties. Barriers erected at both ends of the streets and alleys were closed as soon as the curfew came into effect, making passage impossible.
Located to the west of the South Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda, this square has developed into a large commercial quarter. Visitors can easily find shopping malls, restaurants, entertainment and leisure places on the square. Also, they can enjoy the fantastic LED show here.
