The remnants of the city wall left from Ming Dynasty (1368 \u2013 1644) is about 1.5km in length winding from east to west. On its southeast corner stands a massive tower (known as Arrow Tower) of the former inner city in Ming and Qing Dynasties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Walking close to the ancient city wall, you will feel you are being brought back to the cold weapons era when a defensive thick wall is a symbol of a strong nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The wall relics park is free of charge except the magnificent tower (RMB10). It is a pleasant walk along the brick-paved path paralleling the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The remaining city wall presents itself different views formed by particular weathers, different time of the day and the seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In summer, pick a fine day and go to the city wall park for a leisure stroll and immersed in history. The ancient city wall park is at its best when night falls with lights lit brilliantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
