The Forbidden City served as the palace for both the Ming and Qing emperors and was built in Beijing by the Ming emperor Zhu Di between 1406 and 1420. The palace was given its peculiar name because it was off limits to common people and allowed limited access even to the royal family; only the emperor was allowed to roam the palace at his will. Most of the buildings in his palace complex face south to honour the
sun.
