Staging a revival

If the Forbidden City has represented China's exquisite imperial culture since the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), then Tianqiao, or Bridge of Heaven, represents the folk culture of the same period.

Now, visitors can experience old Tianqiao culture in Gaobeidian.

Located off the southeastern Fifth Ring Road, Huasheng Tianqiao Folklore Culture Garden is attracting many visitors. They throng to the area to savor the past and take in the Old Tianqiao Culture Carnival every weekend.
