Deshengmen from the 2nd Ring Road (Northern segment, taken in July of 2004)

Deshengmen (德胜门, "success of morals") is one of the old city gates in the north of Beijing, at the northern tip of the 2nd Ring Road. In old times, the army would leave Beijing from Xuanwumen and re-enter the city, triumphant, at Deshengmen. It is well-preserved and surroundings are well-lit at night. The Beijing Subway has a stop here. An extension to the Badaling Expressway links to the rotary surrounding the gate.
