With almost 10,000 rooms, it was the centre of the Ming and Qing dynasties, a massive complex of palaces,pavilions, courtyards and gardens where 24 emperors used to live.

Hutongs are a kind of ancient city alley or lane and are very typical for Beijing. Most of them can be found close to the Forbidden City, and many were built during the three dynasties of Yuan, Ming and Qing.
