City wall of Xiamen, Ming Dynasty fortification in Xiamen, China.
The City Wall of Xiamen extends for 14 kilometers in a rectangular shape, incorporating watch towers, corner towers, and gate towers across its perimeter.
Built during the 14th century under Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the wall started as palace fortifications before expanding into a comprehensive military defense system.
The structure earned recognition as a National Historical and Cultural Unit in 1961, representing traditional Chinese military architecture and urban planning methods.
Visitors can walk the entire length of the wall's top pathway, which takes approximately four hours to complete and offers views of the surrounding area.
The wall measures 12 meters in height with a base thickness between 15 to 18 meters, featuring structural elements that served both defensive and decorative purposes.
