Yongdingmen is the former front gate of the outer section of Beijing's old city wall. Originally built in 1553. It was torn down in 1957 to build the new road system in Beijing. In 2005, a replica of the old Yonddingmen was erected at the site of the old gate. This new gate, curiously, is disconnected from the original road leading towards the gate and the city. to the north, a new park is being constructed.
