Photos of Ganzhou Ancient City Wall

The Song Dynasty City Wall of Ganzhou is the only Song Dynasty city wall in Jiangxi Province that has been preserved intact and has reliable chronological inscriptions, and it is also one of the few brick walls of the Northern Song Dynasty in the country. It was built in the Han Dynasty and has a history of 2,000 years. Later, after more than 900 years of continuous repairs and reinforcements in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, Ganzhou City has formed a 13-mile-long, tall and majestic city. city walls. The average height of the city wall is 7 meters, and the length from the east gate to the west gate is 3.6 kilometers. The number and variety of chronological inscriptions on the city walls are rare in the whole country. Experts call it the "Song City Museum". The Song City Wall of Ganzhou forms a wonderful contrast with the beautiful river with its winding height. Walking on the quaint and meandering city wall in the early morning, I saw a clear river outside the city, misty clouds in the mountains in the distance, and row upon row of neighbors nearby, making people feel as if they were in a beautiful picture of "Along the River During Qingming Festival".
