The Beijing Central Axis stands as a testament to China's enduring national traditions and rich historical culture. Spanning thousands of years, this iconic axis has been the heart of the ancient capital, showcasing the ideal order and architectural brilliance of Beijing. In a significant recognition of its cultural importance, the \"Beijing Central Axis: A Building Ensemble Exhibiting the Ideal Order of the Chinese Capital\" was proudly inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List this July.
