Location of the Forbidden City in the historic center of Beijing

To the south of the Forbidden City were two important shrines - the Imperial Shrine of Family and the Imperial Shrine of State where the Emperor would venerate the spirits of his ancestors and the spirit of the nation, respectively. Today, these are the Beijing Laboring People's Cultural Hall and Zhongshan Park (commemorating Sun Yat-sen) respectively.
