The Gate of Heavenly Purity (Qianqingmen) is a significant landmark inside the Palace Museum (Forbidden City) in Beijing, located in the Dongcheng District.

The gate is a majestic structure with a double-eaved roof covered in yellow glazed tiles, symbolizing imperial authority. Visitors pass through this gate to explore the Hall of Heavenly Purity and the rest of the inner palace complex. The gate itself is adorned with intricate carvings and large bronze cauldrons, and it offers a glimpse into the strict hierarchy of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
