Welcome to The Beijing Report's Digital Introduction to The Park of the Peoples Culture. The Park lies south east of the Forbidden City (Palace Museum) along the northern side of East Eternal Peace Avenue in the Dongcheng District of Beijing.
We start the Tour of the Park adjacent of the now famous Hotel Beijing, in 2005 the host of the prestigious Forbes 500 Forum in Beijing
The Park of the Peoples Culture is divided in two sections, East and West. Inside the narrow space lies a magnificent landscape of a Canal with bridges, rockeries, traditional buildings and modern art.
The Canal used to be the sewer drainage flowing from the environs of the Imperial Palace, now the Palace Museum of which the Park was part in the historic part.

As can still be made out this used to be the southern limit of the larger Imperial Palace City of which there was a gate at this intersection. The gate has since been done away with to make way for the widening roads.
