    The 'song' is on the soundtrack of every horror movie ever made! Just take a walk in some quiet woods and you'll hear it. ;-)

    @kaniths totally bowled by your puzzle. Got some idea from the subsequent clues of Gauri and jskls. Will wait for your answers. Your PM is not active. Probably will have to go to Macau to bet patacas.

    Answer to puzzle # 5172 Forbidden City

    Verbal Clue : From heavenly abode in astrology to home of artifacts


    Image #1 to denote key word - Construction
    Construction of Forbidden City lasted 14 years and required more than a million workers. Constructed from 1406 to 1420, the complex consists of 980 buildings and covers 72 ha (180 acres)



    Image #2 Purple color
    "the Forbidden City", is a translation of the Chinese name Zijin Cheng literally: "Purple Forbidden City. Zi, or "Purple", refers to the North Star, which in ancient China was called the Ziwei Star, and in traditional Chinese astrology was the heavenly abode of the Celestial Emperor.



    Image #3 9999
    points to 9,999 rooms including antechambers; although this number is frequently cited, it is likely an oral tradition, and it is not supported by survey evidence


    Image #4 Imperial Palace
    The Forbidden City was the Chinese imperial palace from the Ming dynasty to the end of the Qing dynasty—the years 1420 to 1912. It is located in the center of Beijing, China, and now houses the Palace Museum. It served as the home of emperors and their households as well as the ceremonial and political centre of Chinese government for almost 500 years.


    With over 14 million annual visitors, the Palace Museum is the most visited Museum in the world. The Forbidden City was declared a World Heritage Site in 1987, and is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world.
