I'll guide you through those pictures part by part in this tour on the Net. Here is a map of the Forbidden city. The square-shaped Forbidden City is surrounded by a man-made moat, called the protective river of the city, and a high red wall (about 35 feet or 11 meters in height). The Forbidden City, like most other Chinese buildings, faces south. It has two Courts, the Inner Court and the Outer Court, separated around the middle line between the south and north ends. The Outer Court mainly consists of the Hall of Protective Harmony, the Hall of Central Harmony, and the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The Inner Court mainly consists of the Hall of Heavenly Purity, the Hall of Union and Peace, and the Hall of Earthly Peace, which are flanked by the Six East Palaces and the Six West Palaces. Here are maps in English, Chinese GB, and Chinese Big5, which show the detailed layout of the Forbidden City, from China Vista. Next page > Outer Court > Page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
