The Forbidden City will not allow visitors to bring bottles containing water, alcohol or any other liquids inside the area starting tomorrow, according to the Beijing Youth Daily.

The move is intended to insure visitors' safety and protect the 600-year-old building complex from any possible danger.

Beijing has geared up safety measures for the upcoming celebrations for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which begin October 1st.
