Deshengmen 德胜门
The highways, byways and bus depot surrounding this ancient gate scare off amateur pedestrians and tour groups, while the Ancient Coin Museum inside only thrills hardcore fans of numismatics. So why visit? The gate is unusually elegant and the jumble of architecture visible from the rooftop snack bar is highly photogenic. Kick back with a beer and boiled peanuts and imagine scenes of victorious imperial troops returning from battle.
