Beijing Central Axis to open more heritage spaces to public
The Zhengyangmen Archery Tower has now reopened to the public since Dec 26, 2024. Beijing will accelerate work to protect and utilize cultural relics in its core functional areas, and promote public access to more heritage sites along the Beijing Central Axis, which was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2024. According to the site's office for cultural heritage application and protection, Beijing will take advantage of its unique world heritage resources to enhance its role as an international exchange center, developing the central axis into a space for international events and diplomatic activities under the guidance of the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. Authorities plan to intensify efforts to preserve and display the history and culture of the Beijing Central Axis, including efforts to promote relevant literary and artistic creation, launch more tailored tourist routes, and enhance urban renewal projects in surrounding areas. A report from Tongcheng Travel showed that cultural and historical sites remain the cornerstone of Beijing's cultural tourism consumption, with the Beijing Central Axis emerging as a must-visit destination for both domestic and international tourists.
