Introduction to Changling Ming City: The Changling Square City is 12.95 meters high, with a "T"-shaped coupon hole underneath. Its function is equivalent to the city gate opening into and out of the treasure city. From the east-west route in front of Liuli Ping, you can exit Fangcheng Ming Changling Tomb and reach Baocheng.
On top of the square city, there is a bright tower with double eaves on the top of the mountain. The Changling Ming Tower was originally a wooden structure. When the Ming Towers in Changling were renovated in the 50th year of Qianlong's reign (1785), "all were replaced with stone coupons." Today, the appearance of the Ming Tower is basically the same as before. There is a gold plaque with "Changling" hanging on it. There is a "Holy Name Stele" in the center of the building. The stele is made of a dragon head and a square foot, with a seal inscription of "Da Ming" and "Mausoleum of Emperor Cheng Zuwen" in seven regular script characters. The body of the stele is painted with vermilion lacquer tiles to draw clouds, so it is also known as the "Vermilion Stone Stele".
