The "Central Axis of Beijing - a masterpiece of the order of China's ideal capital city" was included in the World Heritage List in July this year. With this addition, the total number of China's World Heritage sites has reached 59.

This "line" was first built in the 13th century and formed in the 16th century, spanning over 700 years and running north-south through the old city of Beijing, with a length of 7.8 kilometers.

Over the years, relevant organizations have organized various activities to integrate Beijing's Central Axis into people's daily lives. Thanks to public participation, new stories about the Beijing Central Axis have been widely shared, giving local residents the opportunity to rediscover their city. Even today, the Central Axis continues to radiate new vitality. #BeijingCentralAxis #CulturalHeritage#HistoricalBeijing #Beijing
