What is Beijing Central Axis?

The Beijing Central Axis has been added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List. But what is the Beijing Central Axis?

In fact, it represents the traditional Chinese city planning philosophy.

The Central Axis runs north to south across the heart of Beijing, with a number of ancient structures either along the way, or scattered symmetrically along the axis.

The construction started in the 13th century, and lasted until the 16th century. Check it out in the video.
