According to a field survey, the result shows that there are over 8,600 rooms in the Forbidden City. Maybe it is an incomplete figure since one folk statement indicates the number should be 9,999. It was designed to have 9,999 rooms, this is because 10,000 was a number reserved for gods, and the emperor wanted to make the statement "I am next to a god." Having 10,000 would anger the gods, and bring him bad luck. the Ming and Qing emperors built 9,999 and one half rooms, meaning the sky palace ranks No. 1 and the Forbidden City follows immediately behind.

What city is the forbidden city in china?
The Forbidden City is located directly in the center of Beijing China. Also it is where all of the emperors lived. It's a replica of the Purple Palace where the legend supposedly has it that he had it in a dream and the God in Heaven lived there. It's called the Forbidden City because lower class people weren't allowed in and only the emperor, his family, servants, and helpers lived in the Forbidden City and it's not really a city it's just a couple of palaces. It's has 8,886 rooms in it and lots of palaces/buildings. That is what the Forbidden City is. I hope this answers your questions. :)
