The Forbidden City lies in the center of Beijing and was the home city for several dynasties. It’s built about an axis, running north south. Everything lines up with it. To the south, Tienanmen square, Mao ZeDong’s mausoleum and the Temple of Heaven and to the north is the Drum Tower and past that, the Olympic site and the famous “Bird nest.”
There is a lot of gold to represent the royal family. (More photos than what are below)
