The
Forbidden
City
sits
exactly
in
the
center
of
the
ancient
city
of
Beijing.
It
took
14
years
to
complete
the
construction.
For
500
years,
it
served
as
home
for
24
Emperors
of
the
Ming
and
Qing
dynasties.
A
26-
foot
high
wall
and
a 20-foot
deep
moat
surround
it.
Today,
the
Forbidden
City,
now
officially
known
as
the
Palace
Museum,
holds
the
largest
collection
of
preserved
ancient
wooden
sculptures
in
the
world.
Until
1949,
the
city
was
officially
off-limits
to
the
public.
