The number of rooms (originally 9,999.5) was meant to represent celestial perfection, as only heaven could have 10,000.

UNESCO Heritage Site🔻
Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 for its cultural significance.

Restricted Access🔻
For nearly 500 years, common people were forbidden from entering—hence the name "Forbidden City”
