City wall of Jingzhou, Ming Dynasty defensive wall in Jingzhou, China

The fortification extends for 10.5 kilometers around Jingzhou with six gates topped by towers and walls reaching 8.83 meters in height.

The foundation dates to the Spring and Autumn period, while the current structure reflects modifications from the Ming and early Qing dynasties.

The wall features in 72 chapters of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, connecting to stories of Liu Bei and Guan Yu during this period.

Visitors enter through Binyang Tower on the east section to access the walkable perimeter and view platforms overlooking the city.

The construction combines meter-thick blue bricks with a specialized mixture of lime and glutinous rice slurry for enhanced durability.
