Here, we were told , once lived 1000 concubines and as many as 1500 eunichs. Stolling the quiet narrow passage ways you had to wonder what life was like for these women who lived behind these walls. This was a strictly off bounds area for all outsiders. Within these walls the Emperor lived until the 1700's.
