Shengle, Historical settlement in Horinger County, China.
The remaining rammed-earth walls of Shengle extend 1,550 meters from east to west and 2,250 meters from north to south, marking its ancient boundaries.
Shengle served as the capital of the Xianbei-led Dai state and the first capital of the Northern Wei dynasty during the fourth century.
Archaeological findings in Shengle reveal the influences of Xianbei, Han Chinese, and Mongol cultures through artifacts and architectural remains discovered in the region.
The site lies 40 kilometers south of Hohhot, with preserved sections of city walls providing researchers insights into ancient construction techniques.
The discovery of 900-year-old tombs within Shengle has provided archaeologists with valuable information about burial practices from multiple historical periods.
