Beijing is an ancient capital with a clear central axis. This 7.8-kilometer central axis has five themes. The 1,500 meters between Yongdingmen and Tianqiao boasts thousands of ancient forest trees, so its theme is ecology. Another 1,500 meters to the north, from Tianqiao to Zhengyangmen, are Beijing's three traditional commercial centers, and the theme is economy.

The third section is from Zhengyangmen to Wumen, which has many, many stories, and the theme is politics. Further north, from the Wumen to the North Gate of Jingshan, the theme of this section is culture. The fifth section is from the north gate of Jingshan to the Bell and Drum Tower, which is the area of traditional Beijing regional cultural characteristics, whether it is Nanluoguxiang, Shichahai or the square in front of the Drum Tower, all of which reflect the culture of old Beijing.
