City Wall by nepalgoods
Like Xian Beijing once had a very big city wall. It has been torn down in the 1940s. But you can still see some remains of it: Qianmen-Gate and the Wall near the old trainstation. And this one: Deshengmen: an old gate in the north of the old Beijing.Deshengmen-Gate is in the background. In front you see the small museum at the old lock. The ships of the emperors passed this lock on their way from the Imperial Palace (Forbidden City) to the Summerpalace.
