Duanmen serves as the palace gate that welcomes you after passing through Tiananmen. Atop the palace wall, you’ll find a well-maintained palace building that exudes elegance. As you continue your journey beyond Duanmen, you’ll be on your way to the Meridian Gate (午门). Duanmen’s historical significance lies in its role as a gateway between the Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Imperial City of Tiananmen Square. Although it may not be as renowned as Wumen or Tiananmen Square, Duanmen holds its own charm and historical importance. Fun fact: Duanmen was primarily used for storing the emperor’s honor and war supplies, adding to its significance within the grand architectural ensemble. Next time you visit, take a moment to appreciate the quiet majesty of Duanmen as you step into the heart of ancient Beijing.

nach dem Tor Tiananmen folgt Duanmen, das zweite Tor. Direkt dahinter befindet sich dann quasi der Eingangsbereich zur Verbotenen Stadt wo man sich auch Tickets kaufen kann. Allerdings rate ich jeden sich bereits vorher Tickets zu kaufen, dort hin zu kommen ohne Ticket und nicht lange warten zu müssen ist praktisch eine Seltenheit. Bist hierhin kann man also auch noch ohne Ticket

🇬🇧 I recommend everyone to see this gate when going to the square. A very nice place, worth visiting. It's worth it. 🇩🇪 Ich empfehle jedem, sich dieses Tor anzusehen, wenn er den Platz betritt. Ein sehr schöner Ort, einen Besuch wert. Es lohnt sich. 🇵🇱Polecam każdemu zobaczyć tą bramkę idąc na plac Bardzo fajnie miejsce warte odwiedzenia. Warto
