The existing ancient city wall and moat ruins in Chuzhou were originally constructed in the sixth year of the Qingli era during the Northern Song Dynasty, expanded by Ouyang Xiu when he served as the prefect of Chuzhou. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, some sections of the city wall and gates were demolished or damaged, but the section from the East Gate to the South Gate, as well as the North Wall and the moat, are still well-preserved.
This site is not only a historical and cultural heritage but also a place for visitors to appreciate and explore, and it holds significant importance for the study of the construction and development of ancient cities since the Song Dynasty. The site is open all year round, with full-day access.Ancient City Wall and Moat Ruins of Chuzhou
