Ju Yong Die Cui

Juyong Pass is located in Changping District, Beijing. The terrain is difficult and rough, and it has been a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times.

Jin Tai Xi Zhao

Jintai Xizhao Station of Metro Line 10 is named after the "Jin Tai Xi Zhao" of the eight views of Yanjing. The name means evening glow on golden platform. The allusion comes from the fact that King Yan Zhao more than 2,500 years ago used a lot of gold to recruit the world's heroes. Now it’s difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the platform as there are eight golden platforms now. Every year, around the spring and autumn equinoxes, the sun’s rays remain to illuminate a short time after the setting sun and the platform is golden because of its high terrain.

Today, No. 23 of East Third Ring Middle Road still retains the "Jin Tai Xi Zhao" stele, with the four characters on the front of the stele and a seven-word poem on the back. In 2006, at the construction site of Subway Line 10 in Beijing, the stone tablet was unearthed. The tablet stands on a square near the west side of Exit C of Subway Line 10 Jintaixizhao Station for people to ponder on its past splendor.
