Yongning Ancient Town is the foremost cultural town in the suburbs of Beijing. The ancient town consists of newly built city walls on the east, west, south, and north sides, as well as ruins of the original ancient city walls and other scenic spots. The town has four gates: the “Yinghui Gate” in the east, the “Zhenning Gate” in the west, the “Xuan’en Gate” in the south, and the “Weiyuan Gate” in the north. In the center of the ancient town stands the “Jade Emperor Pavilion,” which radiates out to the four streets. After the town was built, the east side became a street dedicated to “culture and health,” the west to “handicraft workshops,” the south to “culture,” and the north to a “Ming and Qing style” pedestrian commercial street.
