Lonely Planet review for Duan Gate

Sandwiched between the Gate of Heavenly Peace and Meridian Gate, Duan Gate was stripped of its treasures by foreign forces quelling the Boxer Rebellion. The hall today is hung with photos of old Běijīng, but steer your eyes to the ceiling, wonderfully painted in its original colours and free of the cosmetic improvements so casually inflicted on so many of China’s other historic monuments – including, it must be added, the slapdash red paintwork on the exterior walls of Duan Gate itself.
