Dongbianmen, City gate in Beijing, China
The stone and wood structure of Dongbianmen features a tower design that reflects traditional Chinese military architecture at the eastern perimeter of Beijing.
During the Ming Dynasty, Dongbianmen was constructed as part of Beijing's defense system, serving as an entry point and observation post for the city.
The gate's position at the intersection of trade routes made it a central location where merchants from different regions gathered to exchange goods.
The Dongbianmen area connects to multiple subway lines and bus routes, with the Beijing Railway Station located within walking distance.
The wooden side gate of Dongbianmen remained unnamed for ten years after its construction before receiving its official designation in the Qianlong period.
