Well ... the sentence above should be:
"Once forbidden. Now encouraged" in English. But I think it was translated as "Once forbidden. New encouraged".
This is the translation I have in Chinese:
曾经的紫禁城 今日的开放之都
I just need to know if it was translated as now or new, and if it's translated as "new" then what would be the sentence in chincese like when corrected to "now"
Thanks a lot for your help :)
