Randy W Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I have "no more free articles this month" (apparently the "month" resets sometime around the 8th or so), but you may be able to access the article Many internet users said the shoot was shameless and had profaned historical relics after a number of pictures showing the naked woman posing in front of white marble handrails and sitting on the head of a marble dragon circulated on the internet.

Randy W Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 The People's Daily has to keep you informed . . . Naked photo shoot in Forbidden City raises heat According to Beijing News, lawyer Liu Changsong said that if the photographer takes naked photos in the Forbidden City without prior permission and other visitors find it disturbing then it should be deemed illegal. Another expert said shooting such images in a public place set a bad example. "Nude photos should be taken in proper places, and carried out without the presence of the elderly and the children. Sittingg on relics is improper behavior and it sets a bad example," said Li Chunhua, a teacher at Zhejiang University of Media and Communications. According to Chinese law, a person who exposes his or her body in public or behaves in indecent manner can be detained for five to 10 days. It is not clear if the images were shot with the permission of the Forbidden City because the management has not yet responded. Link to comment
Randy W Posted June 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 More pixelated SHAME from the Forbidden City - not a whole lot of pictures in the Global Times, though. Looks like you need to check out Mr. Wang Dong's Weibo for that. 20 Forbidden City cameras videotape nude photo shoot Shan Jixiang, director of the Palace Museum, said that the site has installed about 1,500 surveillance cameras and 20 of them had videotaped the incident.Shan said the footage recorded four young people from the time they purchased tickets, to the time a woman removed her clothes as well as the entire photo shoot, adding that the evidence has been submitted to the authorities for further investigation.He said the Forbidden City's surveillance monitoring system covers all areas of the grounds. The museum started to upgrade its monitoring system in March 2014 and has so far completed 75 percent of the work. . . .The pictures were first posted on the Sina Weibo of Wang Dong, the photographer, on May 17. Wang said it is natural to take human body pictures at tourist attractions, news website guancha.cn reported. Link to comment
