请认真阅读下面短文,用英语回答短文后的问题。
Have you ever visited the Forbidden City? It is one of the largest palaces in the world and has millions of visitors every year. But if we travelled back to the past, we probably wouldn't be allowed inside.
In the past, all buildings in Beijing were low except the Forbidden City. From outside, common people could only imagine what it looked like inside.
The Forbidden City takes up about 720,000 square metres in the centre of Beijing. It was built from 1406 to 1420 by the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty. After that, it was the living and working place of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty.
During those times, the Forbidden City was where the country's highest power could be found. Emperors were born, lived, fought and died there. It saw the highs and lows of the Ming
and Qing dynasties, as well as the end of the feudal autocratic monarchy(封建君主专制) in China.
The cultural relics(文物) and documents in the palace show how the royal families lived. They are still used today for historical research, as well as inspiration for literature and entertainment.
In 1987, the Forbidden City was considered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For world leaders who visit China, it has become a must-see.
