The Forbidden City, or Zijingcheng, in Beijing was the home of the Chinese emperor and his royal family, and a place for ceremony and discussing politics in Ming and Qing Dynasties. The world's largest palace complex inherited and expanded the traditional palatial architecture in China. It was named as the Palace Museum or Gugong in 1924, hosting extensive collection of artwork and artefacts by the emperors of Ming and Qing Dynasties.

If you have noticed from the pictures of the Forbidden City that the palace complex is dominated by the yellow color which represents the royal family.
