Chaoyangmen then and now: A historic gate in the heart of Beijing

01:06

Located within Beijing's eastern Second Ring Road, Chaoyangmen is now part of a bustling business and cultural district. But in 1937, during the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Japanese forces entered Beijing through its city gates, including Chaoyangmen, causing severe economic disruption in the area. Chaoyangmen has since regained its vitality, and today, it's a place where visitors can explore local shops, modern life, and the deep history woven into the city's fabric.
