15 Sept 2012 ~ Railway Arch

Listening to: Karlie Bruce ~ Paperback Lover

The Corner Watchtower had a nice museum. From propaganda art, to sculptures and lighting motifs.

A very good display of artifacts used to protect the city walls, such as swords and a bow & arrow from the Qing Dynasty.

And miniature dioramas.

In June 1915, in order to lay the railway track for the Round-the-Capital Railway, this arch was built by breaking through the city wall near the corner tower and demolishing the last Dun Tai (which I think is a dumpling house).

Outside the arch are men flying kites.

They are so far up it wasn't even possible to get a picture.
