Dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the Zhengyangmen Archery Tower, located along Beijing's central axis, reopened to the public on Thursday.
Situated at the southern end of Tian'anmen Square, the Zhengyangmen Gate comprises two structures: the gate tower to the north and the archery tower to the south. The gate highlights the traditional urban management practices of ancient China.
