The Forbidden City
The Forbidden City is a huge area in Beijing with many well preserved ancient buildings and temples. It is called like this because it was off-limits for 500 years. Here is where two dinasties of emperors, the Ming and the Qing resided. The Chinese name is Gugong (= the old city).
