Qianmen Street is a famous pedestrian street for shopping and sightseeing, located at the central axis of Beijing City, running from the Archery Tower of Qianmen in the north to the turning of Tiantan Park in the south. Qianmen Street has history of more than 570 years. It was called Zhengyangmen Street during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and finally got the present name in 1965. During the Qing Dynasty, there were many specialized outlets on either side of it, such as a meat market, cloth market and jewelry market. And there were also many craftsman workshops, warehouses and theaters in the Hutongs nearby. Now Qianmen Street becomes an important night life place for locals.
