So the Forbidden City has a thousand buildings and approx a thousand rooms... one room per building. Try harder, you lose credibility with dialogue like that.

[@XavierLeFrancais]

the forbidden city claims to have 9999 rooms (10000 is only for the God's in the legend). An investigation in the 1970's said it has 8700 rooms...still formidable and unmachted. Even Versaille with 2400 rooms isn't as big. but the gardens of the forbidden city, even if they are huge (50ha) is smaller than the gardens of Versaille (800ha and 8000ha for the entire domain). But one is in the middle of the city, the other in the landscape....Two formidable masterpieces.
