The image is of an exhibit at the Beijing History Museum, located at 39.938° N, 116.389° E in Beijing, China. It shows a montage of four black-and-white photographs depicting the construction of the city wall during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) in the early Ming Dynasty (1368 AD). The wall appears to be made of stone and bricks, with a moat and a gate tower. The inscription in Chinese and English describes the building of the city wall in preparation for attacks by Yuan troops. The photographs are displayed on a wall with a tan background, and the inscription is printed in black and white. The wall text reads: "In the early Ming Dynasty (1368 AD), Xu Da occupied the capital of Yuan Dynasty. To get prepared for attacks by Yuan troops, he abandoned the northern city wall of the capital and retreated to nowaday's. Second ring road and built Deshengmen Gate Tower. One east-ward-going river of Shichahai was taken as the moat and quite a part of the lake surface was left outside the city, known as “Taiping Lake” thereafter."
