CHINA-BEIJING-CENTRAL AXIS-WINTER SCENERY (CN)

(231228) -- BEIJING, Dec. 28, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Visitors take photos in front of a turret of the Palace Museum in snowfall in Beijing, capital of China, Dec. 13, 2023.

First created in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the Beijing Central Axis, or Zhongzhouxian, stretches 7.8 kilometers between the Yongding Gate in the south of the city and the Drum Tower and Bell Tower in the north. Most of the major old-city buildings of Beijing sit along this axis.

Gates, palaces, temples, squares and gardens of the old city are all linked up to the axis. As they witnessed the folk activities along the line from old days to new ones, they themselves are a joy to behold at all times. (Xinhua/Li Xin)
