In Beijing, a city with a history of more than 3,000 years, an axis that has been extending for more than 700 years has strung together in the city’s cultural heritages. Mr. Liang Sicheng once praised Beijing’s central axis as “the longest and greatest north-south central axis among all cities in the world, which laid the foundation for the layout of the entire city”. So how did the old city of Beijing form a symmetrical layout? How has the central axis changed in the new era? Today, let’s explore this “3,000-year-old construction drawing” from high above, through the lens of satellites.
