City Wall Map in Beijing
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.
