A Gateway to the History of Beijing- Zhengyangmen Museum

摘要

I must have been there dozens of times;yet it was only recently that I discovered that Zhengyangmen("Gate of the Zenith Sun")has a museum inside showing a fascinating perspective of old Beijing,together with a good collection of photographs,some dating back a century or more.Not familiar with Zhengyangmen?Maybe you know it by its more familiar name of Qianmen(meaning front gate),which is the gate just south
