The Forbidden City, a Palace of Secrets

Located in the heart of Beijing, the Forbidden City is one of the most famous landmarks in China. This grand palace complex was once home to 24 emperors and their families during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The name "Forbidden City" signifies that only those with permission were allowed to enter this sacred place. Did you know that there are over 980 buildings within its walls? It spans an area roughly equivalent to seven football fields! The construction began as early as 1406 and took nearly a decade to complete. It's said that more than one million workers were involved in building this magnificent structure.

Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi, the First Emperor of China

Qin Shi Huangdi was an ambitious leader who united various warring states under his rule and established the first centralized Chinese empire, known as Qin Dynasty (221-206 BCE). His most notable achievement was constructing the Great Wall of China to protect his empire from invading nomadic tribes. He also standardized weights, measures, currency, writing systems (including creating characters), laws and even measurements for chariots wheels! What many people don't know is that he made himself immortal by taking elixirs containing mercury – which ultimately led to his death.

Interestingly enough these statues were not all created at once but rather built over time after Emperor Qin’s death.
