Morning Light on the Sunny Tower

  The scene of "Morning Light on the Sunny Tower" refers to the Archway of the First Market in Eastern Beijing. This tower is located at the southern end of the strip market on Dongcheng Road, featuring a four-pillar, three-bay, seven-story design with a timber-concrete composite structure, a glazed tile roof, and an overall height of 16 meters and width of 18 meters. The marble plaque at the center of the archway bears the name “First Market in Eastern Beijing” (京东第一集), inscribed in the handwriting of the former Mayor of Tianjin; the reverse side features calligraphy by the renowned artist Qi Gong, reading “Like Terraces, Like Capitals” (如坻如京). Behind the tower are a stele pavilion, gardens, and rockeries. At sunrise, the morning light interacts beautifully with the tiles of the tower.
