City Wall of Xiangyang

The city wall stretches along the southern bank of the Han River, featuring thick stone foundations and brick upper sections that encircle the historic district.

The defensive structure protected Xiangyang during multiple conflicts, including a prolonged siege by Mongol forces in the Southern Song dynasty.

Local residents gather near the wall sections for morning exercises, traditional festivals, and evening social activities throughout the year.

Visitors can access the wall through multiple entry points, with the main gate opening daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM for a 10 CNY admission fee.

The wall maintains its original Ming Dynasty construction materials and engineering techniques, demonstrating the advanced military architecture of medieval China.
