Forbidden City

Built in 15 years by 1 million laborers, the Forbidden City has over 900 buildings and covers 7.8 million square feet. It's impressive. You walk through gates and you think that's it - we've reached the end. That's never quite the case; there are always more massive halls, buildings, or gardens.
