The former Imperial Palace, also known as the Forbidden City, was the residence to 24 emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties from 1420 to 1911. Now it is open as the Palace Museum.
The former Imperial Palace keeps a great quantity of historic relics and artistic objects. In 1925 it was turned into a museum. Since the founding of the People's Republic in 1949 the central government has repaired and renovated it on several occasions. It allots large sums every year for its maintenance. Now it is a hot tourist attraction in China.
