Résumé (en anglais)

As the most famous heritage site of China, the Forbidden City not only represent masterpieces in the development imperial palace architecture, but also carry profound cultural information and evidence to the living traditions and the customs of Han and Manchu, which was considered as the spirit of the place. But today the historic and cultural information of the Forbidden City has lost a lot due to the deteriorated environment. In recent years, the excessive tourism with approximately 10 million visitors per year has obviously threatened the historic buildings and the landscape too. In order to preserving the site, people have to be kept away from some buildings, thus the true spirit of the place could not be understood well. This paper intent to introduce what we have done with virtual reality technology, discussing whether we could help people to access and understand the heritage sites much better by VR without any destruction.
