Stone City, Ancient fortified site in Nanjing, China
The stone walls stretch over 9,000 meters along a hillside, featuring massive fortifications that overlook the Yangtze River and Qinhuai River junction.
The city was established during the Warring States period by the Chu kingdom, later expanded in the Han Dynasty, and served as a naval training base under General Zhou Yu.
The Ghost-Faced Wall section contains detailed stone carvings and reliefs from multiple dynasties, displaying traditional Chinese military architecture and craftsmanship.
Visitors can access the archaeological site by taking the Nanjing Metro to Hanzhongmen Station and walking northwest toward the preserved wall sections.
The ancient fortifications earned Nanjing the nickname Stone City, with the remaining walls demonstrating construction techniques from different historical periods.
