Xizhimen, Transportation junction in Xicheng District, Beijing, China.
The intersection features a modern triple-arched building structure that marks the meeting point of multiple major transportation routes in northern Beijing.
Originally constructed as a city gate in the Ming Dynasty during 1419, Xizhimen served as an entry point for fresh water from the Jade Spring Hills.
The water symbol carved on the ancient barbican gate represented the essential role of Xizhimen in supplying drinking water to Beijing's imperial families.
The transportation hub connects three subway lines, numerous bus routes, and provides direct access to Beijing North Railway Station through integrated passages.
The demolition of the original gate structure in 1969 revealed sections of a thirteenth-century Yuan Dynasty barbican gate beneath the Ming Dynasty construction.
