看。 The ancient and quaint city walls are worth seeing

Introduction

The city wall is square in overall shape, but it is slightly winding due to the south city wall being built along the river. It preserves the design and structure of the early Ming Dynasty and is the best-preserved county city wall in China. Two carriages can pass through the city wall at the same time, and there are defense facilities. The original four corners all had corner towers, but now the corner towers of the city gate have disappeared.
