Introduction

The history of the city walls and settlements in Datong is quite ancient. As early as the Northern Wei dynasty, the grand city walls had already been built. Throughout the ages, the city walls of Datong have been rebuilt and expanded numerous times. During the early Ming dynasty, due to its strategic geographical location, the general Xu Da expanded the city walls, forming the Datong fortified town that we see today. Although the city walls have weathered the passage of time and the ravages of war, they still retain over 70% of the original earthen walls. In order to further protect the city walls and showcase their intact appearance, restoration work was carried out using the original methods and techniques, with brickwork added to the exterior of the earthen walls. Whether in the daytime or at night, the Datong city walls display their majestic and stunning beauty. The circular park below the city walls is lush with trees, the songs of birds, and fragrant flowers, making for a stroll that is full of the nostalgia of ancient times and the charm of the present.
