Guang'anmen
Guang'anmen (), also known as Guangningmen (广宁门), Zhangyimen (张仪门 or 彰仪门) was a city gate of old Beijing, constructed during the reign of Jiajing Emperor (1521–1567), Ming Dynasty. This gate was part of Beijing's city wall, situated south-west of the city center and faced east. Guang'anmen served as a main entrance to Beijing. Yanjingji (燕京记), records written by the famous Qing historian Gusen (顾森), described the gate as follows: ''Of the seven outer city gates, the one facing east is called Guangningmen. 15km to the west of the gate is Lugou bridge, if you cross the bridge and continue 20km, you will find Liangxiang county. The gate is a strategic passage for ground traffic from Southern provinces and is of vital importance'' (外城七门，面向西者广宁门，西行三十里卢沟桥，过桥四十里即是良乡县，为各省陆路进京之咽喉).
The gate was torn down for construction of Beijing's second ringroad, which led to the demolition of most of Beijing city fortifications. The original two-story tower with double eaves was 17.6m tall, 13.8m long and 6m wide. The tower and the wall combined had a height of 26m.
==History==
Guang'anmen was known as Guangningmen in the Ming and early Qing Dynasty. It was renamed by Daoguang Emperor, whose private name is Minning and the shares the character Ning (宁) with Guangningmen, as the ancient Chinese tradition naming taboo discourages the use of given names of the emperor.
The Guanganmen Incident of 26 July 1937 occurred at Guang'anmen gate and was part of the Second Sino-Japanese War. This incidence ultimately resulted in the retreat of Chinese armies to southern provinces, the fall of Beijing and Tianjing, and the Japanese occupation of the entire North China Plain later that year.〔Press Corps of the War Ministry of Japan 1937 p.4-6〕
