Beijing

has the largest amount of decorated archways in the world. Besides their decorative purpose, many are now local landmarks. Most of them are wooden archways like the city’s largest wooden archway Zhengyangqiao Archway, close to

TiananmenSquare image

some of them were made of colored glaze such as the archways at Dongyue Temple and

Temple which were built to revere gods and sages while stone archways like those at the Ming Tombs and Zhongshan Park act as memorials. Have you seen decorated archways in Beijing?
