(231114) -- BEIJING, Nov. 14, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Nov. 6, 2023 shows a woman walking on the Wanning Bridge, the oldest bridge on the Beijing Central Axis, in Beijing, capital of China. The bridge, having a history of over 700 years, is located on the crossing point of the Beijing Central Axis and the Yuhe River section of the Grand Canal. 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/Cai Yang)
