Shouhuang Palace in Jingshan Park, the second largest architectural complex on the central axis of Beijing, opened to the public in November, 2018 after four-year renovation. The latest renovation of the architecture began in 2014, which helped to restore the complex to its original look. Shouhuang Palace was first built in 1749 in the Qing Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1711-1799). Its total area of over 21,000 square meters is only surpassed by the Forbidden Palace, and it was the last architectural complex on the city's central axis to open to the public. Jingshan Park was one of the 14 heritage spots the city decided to include in the application for the central axis to become a World Cultural Heritage Site, and its renovation became a major project during this process. At present, the central axis has been included on the tentative list of the World Cultural Heritage Sites.(Photo/VCG)
