Exploring the Wall that SHAPED the Beijing Subway

This video has got everything: A 600-year-old wall, subway rides, really old gates, historical facts and photos of Beijing you have never seen! Join me as I travel underground along the wall that defined Beijing in the days of emperors and guided the construction of the city's second subway line. It's an episode for history buffs, true Beijingers and fans of guided city walks. #Beijing #Travel #Subway VIDEO CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 01:48 The old city wall through time 04:49 The gates that turned into subway stops 05:12 Chongwenmen: The Liquor Gate 06:18 Qianmen: The Front Gate 08:02 Xuanwumen: The Death Gate 09:52 Sneak peek at part 2/2 🖼️ Photographs University of Bristol - Historical Photographs of China John Stanfield Donald Mennie The Library of Congress Dragon's Army Blog Beijing of Dreams 🎵 Music "DAILY" by Lukrembo    • lukrembo - daily   📢 SUBSCRIBE to Mission 100    / @longinchina   🗒 Check out my daily updates on FACEBOOK   / missiononehundred
