'''Andingmen''' ({{Zh|s=安定门|t=安定門|p=Āndìngmén|l=Gate of Stability}}) was a gate in [Beijing](/source/Beijing)'s [Ming](/source/Ming_dynasty)-era [city wall](/source/Beijing_city_fortifications), which were built to protect the emperor and people against northern invaders. Like so many others, the gate was torn down in the 1950s.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/cndy/2008-12/13/content_7301164.htm |title=The gatekeepers |website=www.chinadaily.com.cn |date=13 December 2008 |access-date=11 June 2025}}</ref>

Where the gate once stood is now Andingmen Bridge, a [roundabout](/source/roundabout) overpass on the northern [2nd Ring Road](/source/2nd_Ring_Road_(Beijing)). The overpass links Andingmen Inner Street, which runs south of the overpass inside the walled city, and Andingmen Outer Street, which runs north away from the wall of the city.  

[Bus](/source/Beijing_Public_Bus) and [trolleybus](/source/Beijing_trolleybus) stops are nearby, along with [Andingmen Station](/source/Andingmen_Station), [Line 2](/source/Line_2_(Beijing_Subway)) of the [Beijing Subway](/source/Beijing_Subway).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.beijingtrip.com/transport/subway-line2.htm |title=Beijing Subway Line 2 |website=www.beijingtrip.com |access-date=11 June 2025}}</ref>
