Di'anmen, Imperial gate in northern Beijing, China
The Di'anmen gate features a brick and wood structure with seven wide faces, three central passage rooms, and two duty rooms on each side.
Constructed in 1420 during the Ming dynasty, Di'anmen served as the main northern entrance to the Imperial City until its demolition in 1954.
The gate's name changed from Bei'anmen to Di'anmen in 1651, with the new name translating to Gate of Earthly Peace in Chinese tradition.
The area near Di'anmen contains multiple transportation options, including subway stations and bus lines that connect to other parts of Beijing.
Stone columns called huabiao stand at the gate, previously used by commoners to display their grievances during imperial times.
