History
During the 12th century, the city of Beijing was centered to the southwest of the present day metropolis in southern Xicheng District (formerly Xuanwu District) and Fengtai District. The city known as Zhongdu was the capital of the Jin Dynasty. In 1990, the remnants of a water gate in the city wall of Zhongdu was discovered at the site.(Chinese) [http://www.bjkp.gov.cn/kpcg/kpcg/bowugaun/newpage25.htm "北京辽金城垣博物馆"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121204021401/http://www.bjkp.gov.cn/kpcg/kpcg/bowugaun/newpage25.htm |date=December 4, 2012 }} Accessed 2012-01-09[http://www.china.org.cn/english/features/museums/139756.htm Beijing Liao and Jin City Wall Museum] The museum built over the water gate opened in 1995.
