Starting from the Bell and Drum Tower, we walked across the Wanning Bridge, crossed the Di'anmen, climbed the Jingshan Wanchun Pavilion, and overlooked the central axis...... In order to inherit the culture of the central axis, from today (August 3), the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism will organize the "Walking in Beijing" Central Axis Range Rover Cultural Visit, where citizens and tourists will deeply perceive the cultural charm of the Central Axis in the form of a city walk, and the activity will last until August 5.

At 8:30 a.m., the "Walking in Beijing" Central Axis Range Rover Cultural Exploration starts from the Bell and Drum Tower, the northernmost point of Beijing's central axis, and heads south, onto the Wanning Bridge, which was built more than 700 years ago, through the bustling Di'anmen Street, and climbs the Jingshan Wanchun Pavilion to take in the magnificent central axis.
Visitors who participated in the event said, "Through this event, I have gained a deeper understanding of Beijing's culture and heritage, and I think I will continue to walk along this line in the future." "Today's words to Jingshan are not only to see the five pavilions of Jingshan, but also to overlook the overall planning of the entire Beijing city on Jingshan, and to really understand the cultural meaning behind it, which makes me feel that I have not felt it when I came to walk the central axis before."

Ma Xiaodong, a member of the Cultural Tourism Expert Committee of the Beijing Normal University Alumni Association, was a lecturer at the event, saying that in the Bell and Drum Tower, we are talking about the history of Beijing's city, capital and the development of "time". To Wanning Bridge, we talk about the construction of the water system in Beijing, about the canal, the water transport. When we arrived at Di'anmen, we were talking about the construction pattern of Beijing. Then come to Jingshan Park, there are three places worth seeing here, one is the Guandi Temple, the other is to see the three archways at the gate of the Shouhuang Palace, and then the highest place in Jingshan Park, Wanchun Pavilion, talking about some other different cultures. I think the central axis is a cultural symbol, it embraces all aspects from all angles.

A central axis, a history of civilization. Zhang Jing, Director of the Resource Development Division of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, said that he hoped that through this event, more people could truly enter the central axis and feel this continuous historical context. "We want to let everyone really feel the culture of the central axis through this activity, rather than the grandeur of a specific building, it shows the breadth and profundity of the city's culture and the sustainable inheritance of Chinese culture."
