well, i guess it is because it was the imperial palace for the emperors, and the central position means the most important.H ( United States ) :11/9/2011 5:32:50 PM

The forbidden city built in 1406-1420 is in middle Beijing., Three architects Hsu Tai, Yuan An and Feng Chiao were told to build a big set of palaces for the Emporors metropolis. 1,000,000 workers and 100,000 artisans built the stone city. it has beautiful gardens surrounding it massive stairs and huge courtyards. It was made for the reign of the emporor Ming and was also used by Qing. Hope this helps. AdiosJeannnie ( United States ) :6/25/2011 5:03:38 PM
