Beijing, China. In the center of this capital city, there is the world’s largest
palace. It’s called the Forbidden City, and it’s over 500 years old. The
Emperor of China was here from the year 1421 to 1911. The palace is
huge: 720,000 square meters. That’s more than 100 soccer fields. There
are exactly 9,999 rooms. Nine was a lucky number for the emperor. Some
buildings and rooms here are only for the emperor. There are even special
stairs only for the emperor. In the past, 40,000 people lived here. There are
980 buildings, with many bedrooms, kitchens, dining rooms, and
bathrooms. There are two main colors in the Forbidden City: yellow and
red. Yellow is the color of the emperor. That’s why the roofs in the
Forbidden City are all yellow. Today, the Forbidden City is open to tourists.
On some days, more than 100,000 people come here. There is a museum,
and there are some beautiful gardens. It’s a great place to spend the day.
