Chaoyangmen
This inner city gate, which translates as the Gate of the Morning Sun, was used to transport grain. Using a moat in front of the gate, Beijing's grain was shipped from Chaoyangmen to local residents. Lots of rice storage buildings were located near the gate. Because of its importance in grain distribution, Chaoyangmen was also known as the city's "life gate".
