Hotels near Fuchengmen, Beijing, China .

Fuchengmen was one of the city gates of Beijing through which coal cargo passed, thus its name translates to Coal Gate in English. Built by Kublai Khan, Fuchengmen’s walls have been torn down and are now one of the more peaceful pockets of culture in the Xicheng district.

Without the presence of skyscrapers, Fuchengmen makes for an enjoyable walk along museums, markets, eateries and temples. It’s most famous attraction is the former residence of Lu Xun, a powerful Army general who was also a prolific writer during the 1800s. The house has been converted into an exhibition of his life and works, also known as Beijing Lu Xun Museum. The architectural style follows the courtyard setting prominent in that era. The museum operates daily from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. except Mondays, charging entrance fee of RMB5.

Fuchengmen is also home to the largest Tibetan Buddhist shrine, White Pagoda, the Wantong Market and the Geological Museum of China.
