So you’ve seen “The Last Emperor” and are going to China, but do you still want to know more about the life of Pu Yi, China’s last emperor? The Chinese official Xinhua news agency reported Thursday that the government will begin a tour next month that will follow the life of Pu Yi, taking foreigners to his birthplace and childhood home in the Forbidden City, the house in Tianjin where he lived in exile and the prison in Changchun, northeast China, where he was held after 1949 Communist takeover. Lu Bin, deputy head of the Beijing Tourism Administration, said banquets will be served in Qing Dynasty settings with imperial music and dances. The report did not say how much the tour would cost.
