Forbidden City is an experimental art piece combining traditional Chinese cut paper and digital animation techniques, which speaks to the history of China.

According to Tea & Creativity, cut paper is referred to not only an ancient, auspicious symbolic art, but also adapted to propaganda needs throughout contemporary Chinese political life.

The scene is set in a traditional teahouse near Forbidden City in Beijing.
