There were 9999 rooms in the Forbidden City Sometime it was counted as 9999.5 rooms but the half room only has a staircase in it. The Palace in heaven had 10000 rooms so the Emperor who made it wanted to have that many rooms to symbolise that they were near to that. Also, the number 9 was considered a lucky number to the Chinese.
