2023-11-14   

In autumn in Beijing, the sky is high and the clouds are light. The ancient cultural relics and buildings on the central axis of Beijing complement each other with colorful autumn leaves, making them incredibly beautiful. The Beijing Drum Tower is located at the northernmost end of the central axis of Beijing, with two floors arranged vertically in front and behind, exuding a majestic atmosphere. As the time center of the capital cities of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, it has a history of over 700 years to this day. The northern end of the 7.8 kilometer long Beijing Central Axis is the Bell Drum Tower, which passes south through Wanning Bridge, Jingshan, the Forbidden City, Duanmen, Tiananmen Square, Waijinshui Bridge, Tiananmen Square and its architectural complex, Zhengyang Gate, and the remains of the southern section of the Central Axis road, to the southern end of Yongding Gate. The Tai Temple, the Altar of State, the Temple of Heaven, and the Altar of Xiannong are symmetrically arranged on both sides. The central axis of Beijing has undergone more than 7 centuries of historical evolution and continues to influence urban development. For over 700 years, the central axis of Beijing has been rotating year after year, witnessing the progress and renewal of the ancient capital Beijing. The "Beijing Central Axis Protection and Management Plan (2022-2035)" released in 2023 proposes planning and management requirements and strategies for the protection, display, utilization, and monitoring of the Beijing Central Axis... This marks a new stage in the protection and application of the Beijing Central Axis for cultural heritage. (New News Agency)
