Quzhou city walls

The defensive walls of Quzhou extend across several kilometers, featuring multiple watchtowers and gates constructed with local stone and traditional brickwork techniques.

Built during the Ming Dynasty, these fortifications protected Quzhou as a strategic trade center, incorporating military design elements for surveillance and defense operations.

The walls connect generations of Quzhou residents through traditional ceremonies, festivals, and community gatherings that take place along their ancient pathways.

Visitors can access different sections of the walls through designated entry points, with guided tours available to explore the watchtowers and defensive structures.
