Beijing Bookworm Talk This Wednesday – Beijing Postcards on the City’s Central Axis

An interesting talk with a lot of very interesting images from Simon Gjore and the Beijing Postcards people at the bookworm this week:

where: Beijing Bookworm

When: Wednesday 13th July, 7.30pm

Through their collection of historical photos, Beijing Postcards will tell the history of the south-north central axis and how it has affected the capital for more than 600 years. This 7.8 km long axis divides the old capital in two, with all the important pieces of architecture placed along or directly upon this commanding stretch – among them the imperial throne hall, Temple of Heaven, Tiananmen Gate and the Drum and Bell Towers.
