The Southeast Corner Watchtower (Dongnan Jiao Lou) is a remnant of the long demolished ancient City Walls of Beijing. It is located near the Ancient Observatory. Still imposing after all these years, the Southeast Corner Watchtower now welcomes visitors.
You can walk along the walls of the watchtower and admire its towering bastions with little pot holes for the archers. The walls bear graffiti left over by the international troops that came to liberate the Foreign Legations during the Boxer Rebellion of 1990.
Housed on the 1st and 4th level of the Southeast Corner Watchtower is the Red Gate Gallery, an art gallery founded in 1991 by an Australian in Beijing. It exhibits work by contemporary Chinese and foreign artists. You can check for upcoming exhibits at the gallery's website, www.redgategallery.com.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
