The Palace Museum in Beijing plans to dismantle all illegal buildings in the Forbidden City over the next three years, to preserve ancient buildings.

北京故宮博物院計劃未來三年拆除紫禁城內的所有違章建築，以保存古建築。

Shan Jixiang, curator of The Palace Museum, revealed the news when he was making a speech at the Tianjin International Cruise Home Port in Dongjiang of Tianjin.

故宮博物院院長單霽翔近日在位於天津東疆的國際郵輪母港的一次演講中透露了這一消息。

More than 100 pieces or sets of cultural creative products from the Palace Museum were displayed on the Royal Caribbean's cruise ship Ovation of the Seas last Sunday, to showcase the Forbidden City and the museum culture.

上週日，故宮中的100餘件文化創意作品陳列在皇家加勒比海洋贊禮號郵輪，以此來展示故宮及博物院的文化。

Shan said the Palace Museum would spend four years reallocating the office space of its 1,500 staff members.

單霽翔稱，故宮博物院用4年時間對故宮博物院1500名員工的辦公問題進行重新分配

All administrative staff, including the curator and vice-curator, will move out of the Forbidden City, while office buildings will be built out of the city wall. All parking lots for employees also will be moved out, to make proper use of each inch of land in the Forbidden City, he added.

他補充說道，故宮博物院院長、副院長等所有行政人員將統一搬出紫禁城，在城牆外修建辦公場所。員工停車場也將全部遷出，讓紫禁城每寸土地都得到合理利用。

Shan said the Palace Museum would dismantle the more than 14,800 square meters of temporary buildings and the other later constructed buildings in the Forbidden City, to prevent modern architecture affecting the whole environment. The existing pavements will be changed to traditional materials and afforesting will be strengthened.

單霽翔還表示，故宮博物院將拆除紫禁城內逾1.48萬平米的臨時建築和後建建築，防止現代建築物影響整體環境。現有路面將換成傳統建材建築並加強綠化。

The Palace Museum is dedicated to open wider to the public, and 85 per cent of the museum's 160,000-square-meter area will be open by 2025. That's compared to 76 per cent, this year.

據悉，故宮博物院將對外開放更大範圍，到2025年，要把總面積16萬平米的古建築開放到85%。而今年則是開放了76%。
