e of the world’s largest public squares, measuring

in at 440,000 square meters (over 109 acres). As yo

Enter the Forbidden City and walk in the steps of emperors

The Forbidden City was completed in 1420, and was

home to 24 emperors, the last of which left Beijing in

1924. The entire imperial complex is reputed to have

9999 rooms, which at its peak housed up to 10,000

people, including the imperial family, 3000 eunuchs, as

well as maids and concubines. Discover for yourself why

the 170 acres were forbidden to common people as you

example of classical Chinese architecture in the world.
