Here is another map of the forbbiden city, but taken from the travelchinaguide.com website.

Although most people go straight after passing through the gate of supreme harmony, sometimes if you have a look on left and right sides, you can have another and different view of the forbidden city.

This is taken from right wing gate of the hall of supreme harmony
