Chongqing Ancient City Wall Travel Guide

Scenic spot introduction:

Chongqing Ancient City Wall is an ancient building in the Ming Dynasty Han architectural style and is a testimony of Chongqing’s history and culture. There are four stages of city construction in Chongqing's history. In the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1371), Dai Ding, the commander of the Chongqing government, built a stone city on a large scale based on the old city of the Song Dynasty, forming 17 city gates with nine open and eight closed. Today's monuments are Historical remnants of that day. On the basis of protecting ancient buildings, city walls and city gates are perfectly integrated into modern life, becoming a good place for citizens to relax and tourists to visit.
