The Palace Museum, known as the Forbidden City, was the home to 24 Ming and Qing emperors, off-limits for 500 years. It stands in the center of Beijing, covering 720,000 square meters, owning 800 buildings and 9,999 rooms, constituting a priceless testimony to Chinese civilization during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is the largest and most magnificent group of palaces existing in China and a treasure house of various relics. It is also perfectly maintained.
In Chinese, the Forbiddent City is called Purple Forbidden City. The Purple Forbidden City was inaccessible to the common people during the reign of the emperors. Even the highest civil and military officers could not enter it without good reason. The Forbidden City is one of the architectural wonders of the world. The construction took 14 years and was finished in 1420. The former Palace’s outer court,with its halls of Supreme Central and Preserved Harmony and side buildings, was where the emperor handled the state affairs and held grand ceremonies. The three main and six eastern and western palaces form the inner court, where the emperor dealt with daily government affairs, and where the imperial family lived. The last dynasty fell in 1911, but Emperor Puyi still lived in the inner court. In 1925,it was converted into a museum and opened to the public.
In 1987,the Palace was inscribed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.
