On 3rd November 2008, the first day of our 3 days Beijing tour, we went to visit the most famous Tiananmen Square and its surrounding. Once we got off the subway train and walked to the ground level from Qianmen subway station, when we looked up, the first building caught our eyes was the Zhengyangmen Gate.Zhengyangmen is a gate standing by the south end of Tiananmen Square. It was formerly the front gate of the Imperial City and built in 1419. It consists of a gate house and an archery tower. It is 42 meters high and the tallest among all gates in Beijing.

Durn,
Great to see picture of Beijing. I think this one is Zheng Yang men rather than Zhen yuan men.
Best,

It was my mistake. I have made the change now. Thanks.
