The Forbidden City or Forbidden Palace (Chinese: 紫禁城; pinyin: zǐ jìn chéng; literally "Purple Forbidden City"), located at the exact center of the ancient City of Beijing, was the imperial palace during the mid-Ming and the Qing dynasties.
As the Forbidden City was on Earth, it was impossible to have 10,000 rooms, which would conflict with the number of rooms in the version found in Heaven, the number 10,000 also symbolizing infinity.) The wall has a gate on each side.
Forbidden Gardens, a privately-funded outdoor museum in Katy, Texas has a one to twenty scale model of the Forbidden City.
Forbidden Planet is a classic 1956 science fiction film and a subsequent novelization by W.J. Stuart.
Overall, though it preceded the television series by some years, Forbidden Planet is remarkably like one of the better Star Trek episodes: it could easily have been (but never was) adapted as an episode in that series, complete with the starship captain's amorous entanglements with the girl.
In the 1990s, a tongue-in-cheek stage musical adaptation was made, entitled Return to the Forbidden Planet, which successfully merged the plot of the film with a characters and dialogue closer to that of Shakespear's play.
