China reopens Forbidden City after three-month closure

2020-05-01 83

The Forbidden City in Beijing has reopened, three months after closing due to the coronavirus crisis -- the latest signal that China has brought the disease under control.

The sprawling imperial palace sitting across Tiananmen Square was shut down on January 25 as authorities closed tourist attractions and took other extraordinary measures to contain the virus, including locking down an entire province.
