Yanzhou Village, Ancient fortified settlement in Dengta, China
The settlement extends along a ridge near the Taizi River with stone walls measuring 1840 meters in length and reaching heights between 5 to 8 meters.
Founded in 403 AD by the Goguryeo people, the settlement marked a crucial frontier point between the Goguryeo kingdom and the Tang dynasty of China.
The architectural remains display Goguryeo construction methods, with defensive walls built from rough-cut stone blocks assembled without mortar in a specific pattern.
The settlement stands 20 kilometers east of Liaoyang and 50 kilometers south of Shenyang, accessible by paved roads connecting to neighboring cities.
The square tower at the ridge summit and western entrance position next to the Taizi River demonstrate strategic military engineering of the Goguryeo period.
