CHINA-BEIJING-CENTRAL AXIS-AUTUMN SCENERY (CN)
(231114) -- BEIJING, Nov. 14, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Nov. 6, 2023 shows a corner of the Forbidden City, which was first built in 1406 and was listed as one of the world heritage sites by UNESCO in 1987, seen from the Jingshan Mountain on the Beijing Central Axis in Beijing, capital of China. First created in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the Beijing Central Axis, or Zhongzhouxian, stretches 7.8 km between the Yongding Gate in the south of the city and the Drum Tower and Bell Tower in the north. Most of the major old-city buildings of Beijing sit along this axis.
Chinese authorities have planned to recommend the Beijing Central Axis as China's 2024 world cultural heritage application project. It was included on the preliminary list of China's world cultural heritage sites in 2012. (Xinhua/Li Xin)
