Located on the central axis of Beijing, Zhengyang Gate, was first built during the Ming Dynasty. It served both as a defensive gateway for the ancient capital and a major thoroughfare for trade and transportation. It has witnessed the Chinese people's struggles and perseverance during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Today, the renovated Zhengyang Gate stands proud, its ancient walls melding with the vibrant rhythm of modern city life.
