Linhai Ancient City Wall, Military defense structure in Linhai, China

The ancient city wall extends for 5,000 meters through Linhai County, featuring military watchtowers and fortifications along its stone-built perimeter.

Built during the Jin Dynasty between 265-420 CE and expanded in the Tang Dynasty, the wall incorporated flood prevention designs with semi-arched exteriors.

The structure earned recognition as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level, representing southern Chinese defensive architecture.

Visitors access the wall through four main gates, with the surrounding area containing multiple museums and traditional shops along Ziyang Street.

This defensive structure stands as the only great wall located in Southern China, earning the name 'Southern Badaling of the Yangtze River'.
