Yes, not half bad!
Having been there around 15 times since I m here in Beijing (working as a tourguide, or for my own pleasure), I can say it does convey the right feeling. At work ATM, but I ll check it out and talk about it to others for sure.

China for the win!

I live in northeast China and plan to go to Beijing one of these days. It would be incredible exciting in my humble opinion to tour the virtual Forbidden City and then see the real thing. As an American, it’s hard to conceive China’s amazing, millenia-old cultural heritage. I will download it later and be sure to tell my friends about it. Maybe some of them will be able to tear themselves away from WoW and Counter-Strike long enough to try it.

That doesn’t look half bad actually, especially interesting in that there seems to be a mini-game based around “Go”, which is pretty much the most popular board game ever.

Probably nicer than actually visiting there, when I went it was hard to move for tourists, also lots of little barriers like in every other museum.

Also there was pheonix humping and some dragon humping going on, but you were right in there not really being any unicorn humping.
