The Forbidden City is a large precinct of red walls and yellow glazed roof tiles located in the heart of China?s capital, Beijing. As its name suggests, the precinct is a micro-city in its own right. Measuring 961 meters in length and 753 meters in width, the Forbidden City is composed of more than 90 palace compounds including 98 buildings and surrounded by a moat as wide as 52 meters. Occupying an area of 720,000 square meters, the Forbidden City, today?s Palace Museum, has 8,707 rooms. The imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties was inscribed on the List of World Heritage by the UNESCO in 1987.
