Forbidden City's ancient drainage prevents flooding despite severe rainstorm

Beijing was hit with severe rainstorms on July 20 with many roads becoming waterlogged. The 600-year-old Palace Museum, or Forbidden City, however, remained free of flooding, largely due to its sound, ancient drainage system, bjnews.com.cn reported on Friday.
