Whenever the layout of the city of Beijing is mentioned, its iconic central axis is introduced. This beautiful book by a local Beijing artist presents axisymmetric illustrations of Beijing on every page. A great book not only for reading but also for extended discussions and activities about history, culture, architecture and city planning.
北京城有一条中轴线。从南到北，正阳门这么热闹，紫禁城这么威严。整本书用细致的笔墨描绘了北京城的结构、建筑和时代变迁。每一页都充满着对称美。难得的非虚构类绘本，可以用来讨论历史、地理、建筑甚至几何学等方方面面。
