Yong Le, also known as the Yongle Emperor, was the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty in China, ruling from 1402 to 1424. He is significant for consolidating imperial power, commissioning the construction of the Forbidden City in Beijing, and sponsoring the voyages of Admiral Zheng He, which expanded China's maritime trade and influence. His reign marked a period of cultural flourishing and centralization of government, laying the groundwork for the Ming Dynasty's prominence in East Asian history.

Yong Le did not build the Great Wall of China. Yong Le did however build the Forbidden City. The Great Wall of China was constructed by China's first emperor, Qing Shi Huang, as a protection against the barbarians in the north.
From 1405 to 1431, Emperor Yong Le sent the fleet on seven overseas voyages.
The forbidden city is not completely forbidden. You can enter bits of it that now act as museums but most of it is still illegal to go in to. It is special because it was home to 24 emperors of China and is sacred to the Chinese population.
