The Palace Museum, formerly the Forbidden City, used to be the imperial palace of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Located in the center of Beijing, it has over 9, 000 rooms and is the largest of its kind in China. It charms Chinese and foreign tourists alike with its shining and magnificent sea of palaces enshrouded in imperial mysteries. Color Illustrations.
