BEIJING 2

by swesn - last update: May 31, 2003

The Forbidden City was home to the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The emperors hardly ever ventured beyond the city walls. It had been off limits for 500 years.
Inside the massive Forbidden City
The buildings are mostly resotred or rebuilt because the palace had been burnt down many times, sometimes delibeartely set alight by court eunuchs and officials who profit from the repair bills.

The moat surrounding the grounds had been used to put out royal fires frequently.
