Here is a great satellite view of the Forbidden City. Home to former emperors, it is at the very heart of Beijing. It is the world's largest surviving palace complex. There are 980 surviving buildings covering an area of 72 hectares. What an amazing architectural achievement.
I visited back in autumn and walked and walked until my heels ached. This place is HUGE. I'll have to go back later and take some cool photos.
Don't have time to come see the city yourself? Checkout the next best thing: virtual Forbidden City by IBM.
