From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fuchengmen (Simplified Chinese: 阜成门; Traditional Chinese: 阜成門; pinyin: Fùchéngmén; Manchu: Elgiyen i mutehe duka) is a former Beijing city gate, which was located in the western parts of the city. Mining coal for winter heating was often transported through this gate into the city. currently a transportation node in western urban Beijing.
Today, it has been replaced by Fuchengmen Bridge, an overpass. The current Fuchengmen Node is where the 2nd Ring Road converges with Fuchengmen Inner Street and Fuchengmen Outer Street and eventually Fushi Road (China National Highway 109). Public transportation service stops are nearby, along with Line 2 of the Beijing Subway stopping here.
