Chapter 43 43．How to enter the door of the ministries and commissions?

Q YA asked various ministries and commissions When I was shopping in Beijing, it seems that many ministries and commissions do not open the main entrance, and the main entrance is full of flowers and plants, why? A The operator of the switchboard of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (010-65961114) answered Sorry, the main entrance is the north gate. This gate is generally not open, only when ministers and leaders come.We usually open the east gate and south gate. If you come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for business, you can come to the east gate and go through the formalities. (Note: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is next to the Chaoyangmen subway station, but the subway has no exit on the side of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who take the subway to work need to get out of the subway station first, and then turn to the underground passage two meters away to cross the road. Don’t ask me why Well, this is another question. The main entrance is the north gate, which is the closest to the intersection, but it is generally not open. According to a comrade from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, one of the reasons is that for the employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the work area does not enter through the main entrance. Instead, you need to go around. The north gate is usually opened on diplomatic and protocol occasions when foreign envoys come. Once he came by bicycle, so he was stopped, and he was let in through the side door. Last year on the opening day of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, dozens of invited members of the public also entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the main entrance.)

Answer from the operator of the switchboard of the Ministry of Public Security (010-65211114) The main entrance is the one facing Chang'an Street, yes, the north gate. (Note: The compound of the Ministry of Public Security faces Chang'an Avenue, and the main entrance is the north gate, but it is not directly in front of the office building, but on the left front of the building, where cars can enter. The office building is facing a row of fences, and there are two viewing Something that looks like a door—a small iron fence door hidden in the green bushes, very inconspicuous. There are a few flowers and plants inside the iron gate of the fence. It seems that people usually don’t leave. Move away. The Department of Commerce is also on East Chang'an Avenue, the main entrance is also the north gate, and it is open all year round.)

Answer from the operator of the switchboard of the Ministry of Culture (010-59881114) The Ministry of Culture has only one north gate.Yes, the building faces west, but the west side is sealed and there is no door. (Note: The address of the Ministry of Culture is No. 10 Chaoyangmen North Street. The building faces west towards Chaoyangmen Street. However, the staff of the Ministry of Culture revealed that it is facing a green area in Dongcheng District, and it is impossible to open a gate there because Even if the gate is opened, vehicles cannot pass through the flowers and plants. Therefore, the Ministry of Culture only has the north gate, which is on the side of the building and is open all year round.)

Answer from the operator of the switchboard of the Ministry of Communications (010-65292114) Our main entrance faces west, on the side of the CPPCC.There is a door on the south side, facing Chang'an Avenue, but it is not open.Why not?It just won't open. (Note: The Ministry of Communications is on the north side of East Chang'an Avenue. It seems that the main entrance should be the south gate, but it is generally not open here. In 2000, the Ministry of Communications issued a "Working Procedures and Requirements of the Ministry of Communications for the Reception of Foreign Delegations by the Ministry of Communications", among which One is "notify the security department of the Ministry of Public Security Bureau to open the south gate, and arrange relevant personnel to greet and see off the guests at the south gate.")
