At Wangfujing and Qianmen there is a feeling of the local history even with a door created almost in the style associated with the nearby Forbidden City. Other murals depict traditional courtyard homes. Yongdingmenwai also on Line 8 reflects the important of the nearby entrance through the former Outer City Walls. Indeed also its position at the southern end of Beijing’s unique, historic axis line. There is a compact, quite attractive art gallery displaying items reflecting scenes around the Gate in years now long past gone. Some stations are now featuring a convenience store, which is surely a welcome, useful addition, aimed at improving passenger satisfaction.
