Step through the Lingmen Gate and be transported to Ming Dynasty glory! This imposing ancient gate, built with granite, boasts 600-year-old archways that still stand strong. Come at dusk when golden light bathes the weathered stones for Instagram-worthy shots of the Sacred Way framed by Purple Mountain. Don't miss rubbing the hitching posts flanking the arch - a tactile connection to Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang's master craftsmen.
