The Forbidden City. also known as the Palace Museum, is long associated with images of century-old buildings and relics (文物). Now it is taking a surprising step into fashion. The Forbidden City isn’t so forbidden after all now. What has happened?

——The TV series Masters in the Forbidden City（《我在故宮修文物》） record the mysterious experts who work in the museum. Their job is to repair the relics within it. You may have imagined these workers to be old and boring, while they're actually quite young and interesting. Some are even in their 20s. They lead a peaceful career with great care, although it can sometimes be dull. The TV series are so popular that more and more college students are applying to work at the Palace Museum.

——The Palace Museum Cultural and Creative Store is the museum’s online store. In 2014, it started to offer daily items such as T-shirts and earphones with obvious cultural features. These products soon gained popularity on social media because they allowed people to wear a piece of history. In 2017, the online store launched a new product — a lipstick collection in six colors. The lipstick colors are quite attractive with their Chinese cultural meanings. They also have a high collection value.

——In November 2018, the TV programme New Products Released in the Palace Museum（《上新了故宫》）pushed people's interest on the palace to a new high. This program is helping the Palace Museum shaking off the image of being old-fashioned. Deng Lun and Zhou Yiwei act as the new product developers.

Known as the Forbidden City(紫禁城)， two new areas in the Palace Museum has been open -- the Broken Rainbow Bridge and the Eighteen Ancient Pagoda Trees -- to the public since Sept 29， 2016. According to the the Palace Museum curator(馆长) Shan Jixiang， 76 percent of the Forbidden City will be open by the end of 2016.

In Chinese， the palace is called zijincheng， which means “the purple forbidden city”. However， purple is not seen a lot in the palace.

People in Los Angeles are known for their love of cars. The city is very large, and its public transportation is slow. So people drive everywhere. But now, a group of bicyclists are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes.

Devon Fitzgerald says he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. “A lot of people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for their speed than your safety.” Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car. “It's much simpler than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking.”

Roger Rosas drives to work. "You always have to make sure you look to the other side because someone would rush across by bike. Or you can easily get into an accident. "
