Ming Dynasty City Wall Relics Park
- The Park Entry at Chongwen Men -
A warm welcome to The China Report's Full Impression of Beijing's Ming Dynasty City Wall Relics Park, a collection of remnants of the Southern City Walls of the Historic Imperial Capital of China at Beijing. (Ming Dynasty) City Walls Park
-as you will come to call it sooner or later- is one of Beijing's newest Parks, reconstructed for the public into a Park somewhere between Summer 2002 and November 2003. As such, the Park is not depicted on many older City Maps still in use. Located in North-Eastern Chongwen District the City Walls Park is a welcome green addition to the, rapidly modernised, now bustling City Centre as well as an interesting place to retrace some of the Old Imperial City and it's Huge Defensive Walls. Enjoy an afternoon stroll through City Walls Park and relax from the crowds just a kilometer away at TiananMen Square and inside the Forbidden City,
study some of the last remnants of the original City Walls, enjoy the Kite Flyers , joggers and other leisurely Chinese and end your Walk at the Famed Red Gate Gallery.
Starting West at ChongwenMen, site of a Former City Gate, this Full Impression of the Park leads you slowly East past remnants of the City Walls , past a Former Guard House and parts of the former Beijing-Fengtian Railway, once the Main Railway leading into Beijing. Moving on East past more City Walls this full Impression ends at DongBianMen & Park, the South-East Corner Gate of the Ancient Imperial City, now more renowned as the Red Gate Contemporary Chinese Art Gallery. A Gallery started by China enthousiast Brian Wallace, and now World Renowned and leading in it's Field.
The Beijing Report includes full information and Impression on Red Gate Gallery and the Watchtowers Historic Exhibition and Museum on the History of Chongwen District, organised into a seperate but inter-connected Report.
