Introduction to the South Gate: The South Gate is the oldest and longest-used gate in Xi'an. It was built in the early Sui Dynasty (582). At the end of the Tang Dynasty, when Han Jian reduced the size of the city and built a new city, it was reserved as the south gate. It was renamed Yongningmen in the Ming Dynasty. It is also the most completely restored gate in the Xi'an City Wall.
