The Forbidden City, for 500 years the capital of the Chinese empire, lies in the heart of Beijing. From 1420 to 1912, it was home to 24 Chinese emperors. More than a residential palace, it was a city within a city, the seat of a vast bureaucratic government that ruled what is now the earths most populated area. Rumoured to have 9,999 rooms, the Forbidden City is the worlds largest palace complex. The palace buildings, constructed almost entirely of wood, have together been recognized by the United Nations as a World Heritage site. It was truly a "forbidden" city. For centuries access was denied to all but the emperor, his family and his most senior officials and servants. A swift and painful execution faced anyone who trespassed on its sacred precincts. With unprecedented access our cameras enter the heart of the palace to provide stunning images of its magnificent buildings and reveal the secrets of those who lived there.
