Beijing was once a city of gates and doors, traces of which can still be found all around the capital today. Way back when, walls and gates of all sorts sought to manage movement within the capital, with the city eventually split into a Chinese city, Manchu city, Imperial city, and Forbidden city at it's center.

These doors weren't just on big gates either, but outside homes. In this photo essay, our in-house photographer
Uni You takes a look at some of these doors, be they elaborate ones guarding the Summer Palace to simple ones guarding homes and former homes throughout the city.
