#Tian'anmen

Built in 1417, Tian'anmen was the front gate of the imperial city of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was opened to the public on Oct. 10, 1925, when the Palace Museum was established. The founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China was held here on Oct. 1, 1949. The symbol of Tian'anmen is part of China's national emblem, in which it symbolizes the unyielding spirit of the Chinese people in their fight against imperialism and feudalism.
