The Forbidden City, also known as the "Former Palace," was the imperial residence of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) Dynasties. The complex has 70 structures and more than 9000 rooms. It is surrounded by a high wall and encircled by a moat. Turned into a museum in the early 20th Century, it houses a great collection of fine treasures. The Nationalist Party took a large number of these treasures to Taiwan in 1949 but 900,000 relics remain. Behind the palace is a delightful royal garden.
