松潘古城墙

The stone fortification stretches across Songpan County with multiple gates and watchtowers positioned at strategic intervals along its perimeter.

Built during the Ming Dynasty, this defensive structure protected the region from invasions while serving as a military garrison between Tibet and Sichuan.

The wall reflects traditional Chinese military engineering techniques through its construction methods, incorporating locally sourced materials and period-specific building practices.

Visitors can access the wall through designated entrance points and walk along preserved sections to examine the historical architecture up close.

The structure maintains its original Ming Dynasty stonework in several sections, demonstrating the durability of ancient Chinese construction techniques.
