"The main attraction of the Forbidden City is the Imperial Palace. For 500 years, this is the place where China’s emperors lived. Except for servants, this was a forbidden place for ordinary people. The entrance is marked by a big painting of Chairman Mao. Trivia: the Palace has 9,999 rooms and 9 nails in each door, both vertically and horizontally!"
