Deshengmen Arrow Tower: The Backbone of Beijing

When you visit Beijing, Deshengmen Arrow Tower is a must-see! When you see this majestic arrow tower, you will be overwhelmed by its historical significance. It stands in the north of Beijing, with solid and heavy brick walls. The mottled marks seem to tell the story of the past. The gray bricks have withstood the test of time, and the arrow windows on the tower are staggered. In the past, this was an important defense line of Beijing, guarding the peace of the city. As you approach the arrow tower, the stone road under your feet has witnessed countless footsteps, and the surrounding greenery complements the ancient buildings. Climb the tower and look into the distance, and you will see the bustling city of Beijing. The perfect blend of modern city and historical sites is truly amazing. After your visit, buy some old Beijing snacks at a nearby shop and take a bite to taste the charm of Beijing. Deshengmen Arrow Tower carries history and connects the present. Come and start this unique journey!
