Beijing's Historic Zhengyangmen Gate Tower Opens Again

Travelers now have another place to visit. The Zhengyangmen Gate Tower reopened on July 27.

Zhengyangmen Gate has protected the city for over 600 years.

It was the main gate between the inner and outer cities during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The recent work focused on keeping the gate's original look.

You can see a picture of the gate tower taken in 2025.

Chen Liang said the restoration brought back the tower's original inside layout.

Visitors can see the real ancient architecture, which is a big reason to visit.

The tower was scanned digitally to show its history.

Inside, visitors can see old artifacts, pictures, and digital displays.

The interior has scale models of the gate built to exact sizes.

These models show not just the gate but how it used to look.

Many visitors like going to the top of the tower.

From the top, you can see the whole city and famous places.

The gate tower is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

It costs 20 yuan to enter, but it's free for some people.

You should book tickets online before you go.

You can take the metro to get to the gate tower easily.

The best time for photos is in the late afternoon.
