East Palace, West Palace is a 1996 Chinese film directed by Zhang Yuan starring Hu Jun, Si Han and Zhao Wei. It is also known as Behind the Forbidden City.
East Palace, West Palace is the first Mainland Chinese movie with an explicitly homosexual theme. The title of the movie derives from the two parks near the Forbidden City - the East Palace and the West Palace. The two parks, specifically their public washrooms, are notorious for being places of congregation for the homosexuals in Beijing during the night.
