Undertunnels and Gates


Chef slicing the duck but nobody was watching

Walking to the underground space, so well camouflaged that u wont even notice that there will be an underground pace there


Used during War to shelter the civilians, it was big enough to cater schools, museums, rooms for the civilians to roam around during the war







It was so deep and big that they said not to wander off alone bcos u can get landed in the airport or to the Forbidden city.

'Door/Gate' that the Emperor will pass through whenever he wanted to travel out of or into the city. This is the highest monument in Beijing bcos this was where the Emperor passed through and hence no other buildings can be higher than this 'Door'.


There used to be 9 gates;each for different purposes(e.g one for emperor one for general) but thanks to Mr. Mao xx, all the other 7 doors, left with the door which the Emperor and the General passed through



This 'Door' was now used as a building for Feng sui purposes. Tourists now come to this place to have a Feng sui lecture.

'Door' that Generals will pass through
