Building in Yinchuan resembles Tiananmen Gate

Residents walk past a gate tower which looks like the Tiananmen Gate in Yinchuan, Northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region on Friday, Oct. 9, 2015. Being the city’s only well-preserved ancient gate tower, the structure named Nanxunmen has gone viral online for its resemblance to Tiananmen.

The 27.5-meter building, facing south and locally called "Nanmenlou", is made up of a 20.5-meter two-story pagoda and a pedestal, which are seven meters tall, 88 meters long and 24.5 meters wide. The gate was listed in 1985 as a city-level cultural relic protection unit in Yinchuan.

The original Tiananmen Gate is in Beijing and draws millions of visitors a year, well Nanxunmen in Ningxia offers locals a taste of the iconic building without having to travel.
