It is worth your time to have a stroll along its ancient city wall within the Ming Dynasty City Wall Relics Park if you want to have a glimpse of Beijing&#8217;s splendid past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Beijing first as capital city called\u201d Shangdu\u201d during Jin Dynasty (1115-1234).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>800 years ago Beijing began its history as a capital city when 1153 AD the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234) moved its capital from Shangjing to Beijing, known as Zhongdu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rebuilding of the first capital city began in 1151 with expansion to the east, west and south. The new expanded city, with its splendid buildings in the center measured roughly five kilometres in circumference in today\u2019s southern Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Secondly, Beijing as capital city called \u201cDadu\u201d in Yuan Dynasty (1271 \u2013 1368)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mongol armies seized Zhongdu in 1215. In 1271 Kublai Khan formally adopted the new dynasty\u2019s name \u201d Yuan \u201d and made Yanjing (Beijing) the capital. Kublai Khan rebuilt the city and gave it the Chinese (Han) name of Dadu or Great Capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The construction of Dadu began in 1267 and ended in 1293 The magnificent palaces of the Jin capital Zhongdu were destroyed by fire during the dynastic transition from the Jin to the Yuan. When the capital was rebuilt, the original site of Zhongdu was replaced by a larger rectangular area centered in a beautiful lake region in the northeastern suburbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thirdly, Beijing as capital city called \u201cBeijing\u201d in Ming Dynasty (1368 \u2013 1644)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On August 2, 1368, Ming troops conquered Dadu and renamed it Beiping (Northern Peace). Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), however, made Nanjing his first capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginning in 1406, Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty spent 15 years constructing walls 12 meters high and 10 meters thick at their base around the city of Beiping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The construction of palace buildings and gardens began in 1417 and was completed in 1420. The following year, Emperor Yongle formally transferred the capital from Nanjing to Beiping and, for the first time, named the city Beijing (Northern Capital).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During Ming Dynasty, there were 9 gates in Inner City and 7 gates in Outer Gates. The nine gates of the Inner City wall: Zhengyangmen, Chongwenmen, Xuanwumen, Chaoyangmen, Dongzhimen, Fuchengmen, Xizhimen, Andingmen and Deshengmen; ehe seven outer gates: Dongbianmen, Guangqumen, Xibianmen, Guang\u2019 anmen, Yongdingmen, Zuoanmen and Youanmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fourthly, Beijing as capital city in Qing Dynasty (1644-1911)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Manchus founded the Qing Dynasty in 1644, they began to build suburban gardens, the most famous of which was Yuanmingyuan. Qing Dynasty left the city wall and palaces built in Ming Dynasty almost intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So Beijing\u2019s city plan was first laid out in the Yuan Dynasty. Yet only after massive reconstruction during the Ming and Qing (1644-1911), did the city come as an architectural masterpiece as the capital of the Chinese empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Ming Wall Relics Park<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow me to explore the only remaining city wall relics built during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) in Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The remnant city wall is about 1.5km in length, which has been transformed into a public park. The Ming Wall Relics Park is composed of two parts: the wall relics itself and the southeast corner tower of the former inner city in Ming and Qing Dynasties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s first visit the Southeast Tower of the Inner City or Arrow Tower (\u5317\u4eac\u5185\u57ce\u4e1c\u5357\u89d2\u697c). The tower was first built 1436, the largest of its kind existent in China, now a key historical and cultural site under state protection.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tour-beijing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/It-has-two-eaves-with-one-row-of-arrow-windows-below-the-higher-eave-and-three-rows-of-arrow-windows-below-the-lower-eave-totalling-144-arrow-windows..jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tour-beijing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/It-has-two-eaves-with-one-row-of-arrow-windows-below-the-higher-eave-and-three-rows-of-arrow-windows-below-the-lower-eave-totalling-144-arrow-windows..jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tour-beijing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/It-has-two-eaves-with-one-row-of-arrow-windows-below-the-higher-eave-and-three-rows-of-arrow-windows-below-the-lower-eave-totalling-144-arrow-windows..jpg 560w, https:\/\/www.tour-beijing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/It-has-two-eaves-with-one-row-of-arrow-windows-below-the-higher-eave-and-three-rows-of-arrow-windows-below-the-lower-eave-totalling-144-arrow-windows.-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Southeast Tower of the Inner City or Arrow Tower  <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Southeast Tower (Arrow Tower) is 29 meters high including its 12-meter base and 39.45 meters in circumference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has two eaves with one row of arrow windows below the higher eave and three rows of arrow windows below the lower eave, totalling 144 arrow windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we are at the entrance to the Southeast Tower and the entrance fee is RMB 10 per person.
