Yongdingmen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yongdingmen (Chinese: 永定門; Manchu: Enteheme toktoho duka) was the former front gate of the outer section of Beijing's old city wall. Originally built in 1553, it was torn down in the 1950s to make way for the new road system in Beijing. In 2005, a replica of Yongdingmen was erected at the site of the old city gate.
