Key symbol of Beijing’s history and culture

#chillandthrill Yongdingmen, the southernmost point of Beijing's Central Axis, was built in 1553 during the 32nd year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty. It stands as both a magnificent ancient city gate and a key symbol of Beijing’s history and culture. The name "Yongdingmen" means "eternal stability" and has witnessed the vicissitudes of time. Today, the rebuilt Yongdingmen Tower, featuring a double-eaved hip roof pavilion and intricate glazed tile decorations, is one of the iconic attractions that reveal the cultural charm of the city.
