CNN —The Forbidden City was once one of the most powerful places on the planet.
It was called the ‘Forbidden City’ because few Chinese subjects were allowed to enter.
Ancient tableware from the Forbidden City is on display at the Hong Kong Palace Museum.
“The majority of (the emperors) grew up in a highly disciplined environment,” says Wang of the Hong Kong Palace Museum.
Now popular worldwide, Peking duck was regularly served at Empress Dowager Cixi's Forbidden City banquets.
