* The Gugong Imperial Palace - the winter residence of the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties - is located in the center of modern Beijing, it is not for nothing that it is called the "Forbidden City". The fact is that from the moment it was built in 1420 until the 20th century, commoners were forbidden to enter its territory under the threat of the death penalty, so they could only guess what these massive walls were hiding.
