Models

In many major cities throughout China, there seems to be an infatuation with the miniature. Several models accurately represent the forbidden city in Beijing, as well as the entire city at large at a series of different scales. Above, the miniature representation of the forbidden city is so accurate, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the real from the model. This shows a level of detail through meticulous work which rivals that of the real construction. The urban planning museum in Beijing also had several models which are so expansive, they bring a similar sense of wonder to to actually viewing the city.
