Chongwu City, Ancient coastal fortress in Quanzhou, China
The granite city walls of Chongwu extend for 2.5 kilometers along the coast, incorporating watchtowers and defensive structures from the Ming Dynasty period.
Constructed in 1384 during the Hongwu Emperor's reign, the fortress protected the southeastern coastline from maritime invasions and pirate attacks for centuries.
The Stone Arts Expo Park contains 500 sculptures created by local artisans, demonstrating the regional granite craftsmanship traditions of Fujian province.
The site opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM with an entrance fee of 80 CNY, and visitors can access regular bus services from Quanzhou city center.
The fortress represents the only complete Ming Dynasty coastal defense structure remaining in China, featuring original granite construction methods throughout its walls.
