Dingding Gate

The Dingding Gate spans over 91 hectares and features ancient ruins, including pier platforms and watchtowers from different historical periods of Chinese architecture.

Excavations that began in 1997 revealed structures from four distinct periods: early middle Tang, late middle Tang, between Tang and Northern Song, and Northern Song.

The Museum of the Site of the Dingding Gate spans 12,616 square meters and incorporates architectural elements that reflect the Tang Dynasty style.

The archaeological site includes protective cover buildings that shield the remains while allowing visitors to observe and study the historical structures.

The Dingding Gate Plaza functions as both a heritage preservation site and a modern community space where local residents gather for social activities.
