thumb|Andingmen in 1860 thumb|right|Atop the city wall at Andingmen in 1860 Andingmen () was a gate in Beijing's Ming-era city wall, which were built to protect the emperor and people against northern invaders. Like so many others, the gate was torn down in the 1950s.
Where the gate once stood is now Andingmen Bridge, a roundabout overpass on the northern 2nd Ring Road. 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.
