A little scary. Now you can visit historical sites without even stepping out your door. What has the world come to?

Is there a StarBucks, just like in the real Forbidden City?

That is pretty interesting. At least we can be sure that there is increasing interest in the virtual world space. The file is massive though.
Talking about virtually visiting places of interest, http://www.amazingworlds.com is way better.

Yes, its amazing, but while trying to meet up with someone else inside, we came to the conclusion that they must have multiple mirrors of the virtual forbidden city running, as we would each end up not seeing each other, tho we would (from our own perspective) be standing at the landing point. using a chat program we described the names of characters arond us and fond we were both seeing a different set of usernames. So.. for a virtual world this kinds sucks. How are we suppose to create an inworld community with this setup?

Jeebus, some of the comments… Ninja swordfights? Geishas?

The Forbidden City is in *China*, guys. Not Japan. China.

Now, a virtual “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” swordfight, that I’d pay for.
