This has been the palace of the late emperors during the Ming and Ching Dynasties. The place is called "Gu gong" in Chinese. It is considered as one of China's pride. Over the years, especially during wars, the kingdom has been devastated. It has been rebuilt and restored. What we see now in the Forbidden City is exactly what it looks like thousands of years ago. A lot of the country's history can be seen in the said palace. It is now made as a part museum for all the country's oldest artifacts.
