Step into history where emperors once roamed! 🚶♂️ Beijing’s Central Axis—a 7.8-km cultural ribbon connecting landmarks like Tian’anmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Drum Tower—has officially landed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List! 🏛️✨ Recognized this week at the World Heritage Committee meeting in India, this iconic route is now a global treasure.
