Old City of Zuoying, City walls and country-level monument in Zuoying District, Taiwan.
The stone fortifications encircle the old settlement with gates at cardinal points, preserving the traditional military architecture of the Qing dynasty period.
Originally constructed in 1722 as mud walls, the fortifications underwent reconstruction in 1826 following damage during the Lin Shuang-wen Rebellion of 1787.
The enclosed area contained important administrative buildings and temples dedicated to Matsu, Confucius, and Guan Yu during the Qing dynasty administration.
The North, South, and East Gates remain accessible to visitors, with the Taiwan High Speed Rail station in Zuoying providing direct transportation access.
The walls represent one of the first fortified cities in Taiwan, built after the Qing dynasty lifted its prohibition on defensive wall construction.
