Duanzhou Ancient City Wall Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate

The Duanzhou Ancient City Wall is located in the area of Songcheng Road in Zhaoqing City and was built in the Song Dynasty. It is rectangular in shape and its commanding height is Piyun Tower in the north of the city. It is the only remaining complete ancient city wall in Guangdong and a landmark building in the cultural city of Zhaoqing. The ancient city wall has been repaired many times in the past thousand years, and there are many kinds of brick walls. It is a living "brick museum". It's not majestic, but it has its own unique flavor. Generally, go up to the tower from the north gate "chaotian", and you will see the residents and houses on the tower. The house is built directly on the ancient city wall, and the city wall is like the fence of the residents' homes. Sometimes, residents can also be seen walking their dogs. Think about it, in the past, officers and soldiers were stationed on the city wall outside the gate of the enemy, and now such a picture of the market is really a very interesting scene. The four corners of the original city wall had turrets, all of which were later destroyed. Now the more magnificent is the reconstructed Piyun Tower. Go west along Songcheng Road, turn left at the crossroads and turn to Qingfengtan. There is a "Song Dynasty Ancient City Wall" stone tablet in the city wall. Entering from the iron gate next to it, you can go up to the city tower to see the Piyun Tower. In fact, there are quite a few ancient city walls in China, but compared with the better developed ancient city walls that charge fees, the ancient city walls in Zhaoqing still have their own small feeling and taste. It's free and accessible. Looking back at the ancient city wall, one side of the wall is no different from any city, it looks like a city. But separated by a wall, there is a circle of leisure and contentment.

Zhaoqing Ancient City Wall, the Song City Wall, is located in the old city of Zhaoqing City, with a circumference of 2,800 meters. Historical records show that Zhaoqing was a Tucheng Wall, and Song Zhenghe expanded the Tucheng City in three years (1113) and built it as a brick city. The city wall has been repaired more than 20 times in history, but the location of the city wall and the city gate has not been changed. The city walls built in the Song Dynasty are still intact and rare in the country. After nearly 20 repairs in several dynasties, the bricks from the Song Dynasty can be found on the city walls. They are called by experts as the museum of "Guangdong's first and rare bricks in the country". The Song City Wall, known as the Great Wall of Xiaowanli, has been through the vicissitudes and has been preserved so far, which is rare in the country. The tour time is about two hours. The Song City Wall of more than 2,800 meters stands tall, and the Picyun Building is located at the highest point in the northwest section of the city wall. The mottled city walls made of blue bricks and the tenacious grasses that drilled out the cracks of the wall told people about the vicissitudes of the millennium and the changes of the famous historical and cultural cities at the national level.
