<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Tianqiao Market''' has a history of 600 years as a bustling market place. There used to be a stone bridge here over which the Ming and Qing emperors used to pass on their way to sacrifice at the nearby [[Temple of Heaven]], hence the name Tianqiao (Heavenly Bridge).<br /> <br /> Tianqiao Market was formally set up in 1914 by a group of merchants, who constructed seven lanes lined with stalls. By 1930, there were 773 registered stalls and restaurants, as well as a cinema. This market catered mostly to local people of the lower classes.<br /> [[File:The Archway of Tianqiao Market.jpg|thumb|The Archway of Tianqiao Market, Beijing]]<br /> <br /> [[category:tourism]]</div>
