The Beijing Central Axis, or Zhongzhouxian, on July 27 was inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List.

The Beijing Central Axis is a line of historic and cultural landmarks that runs through the heart of the Chinese capital. Originating in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), this axis extends 7.8 kilometers from Yongding Gate in the south to the Bell Tower and Drum Tower in the north.

As a key cultural and historical symbol of Beijing, the Central Axis continues to draw tourists eager to explore its historic sites and learn about the city's rich heritage.
