Damingmen 1
Refers to the south gate of Beijing Imperial City, formerly known as Daming Gate in Ming Dynasty, Daqing Gate in Qing Dynasty and Zhonghua Gate in Republic of China. On the central axis of Beijing, the original site is on the north side of Zhengyangmen, on the south side of the Monument to the People's Heroes, and around the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall.
This gate was once a national symbol of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was not allowed to be opened at ordinary times. 1976, Mao Zedong memorial hall was built on the original site. Unlike Zhengyangmen and Tiananmen Square, Zhonghua Gate is not a tower, but a masonry building with a single eaves resting on the top of the mountain.

Tiananmen Square is located in the center of Beijing, the capital of People's Republic of China (PRC), at the southern end of the Forbidden City. It faces Tiananmen Square, the Monument to the People's Heroes, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, the Great Hall of the People and the National Museum of China across Chang 'an Avenue, covering an area of 4,800 square meters. It has attracted worldwide attention for its outstanding architectural art and special political status.
Tiananmen Square is the main entrance of Beijing Imperial City in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was built in the 15th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (14 17). Formerly known as "Chengtianmen", it means "Chengtianmen, ordered by Heaven".

Duanmen Tower was built in the 18th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (1420). It is one of the main entrances to the Forbidden City in Ming Dynasty and the imperial city in Qing Dynasty. The whole building structure and style are the same as Tiananmen Square.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Duanmen Building was mainly used to store the emperor's etiquette supplies. Every time the emperor holds a big meeting or travels, there are various sacrificial ceremonies on both sides of the Imperial Road under the gate tower, with a majestic procession, from the Hall of Supreme Harmony to Tiananmen Square (called Chengtianmen in the Ming Dynasty) for two miles.
