What is "andingmen"

Andingmen (; Manchu: Elhe toktoho duka; lit. "Gate of Stability") was a gate in Beijing's Ming-era city wall. The gate was torn down along with the city wall in the 1960s. Andingmen is now a place name. Where the gate once stood is now a Andingmen Bridge, a roundabout overpass on the northern 2nd Ring Road. The overpass links Andingmen Inner Street which runs south of the overpass inside the walled city and Andingmen Outer Street which runs north away from the walled he city.

Bus and trolleybus stops are nearby, along with Andingmen Station, Line 2 of the Beijing Subway.
