I agree with the above answer, but it wasn't only a place for the emperors. It was reserved for the royal family. The Forbidden City was built in Beijing from 1406-1420. It is the largest palace complex in the world covering 183 acres and it compromises 9,999 buildings.

It consists of approximately 980 buildings and is famous for its traditional Chinese architecture. After the imperial period, it became the Palace Museum, a key tourist attraction today.
