#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province is a world-renowned tourist resort city, attracting tourists from all over the world. Today I recommend a cultural relic: Zhaoqing Ancient City Wall. The Zhaoqing Ancient City Wall is located in Duanzhou District, Zhaoqing City, Guangdong Province. It was first built during the Huangyou period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1049-1054) and has a history of nearly a thousand years. It is one of the relatively well-preserved Song Dynasty brick city walls in China and has important historical, architectural and military research value. Built in the early Northern Song Dynasty: It was originally a rammed earth wall, and was later expanded and reinforced to resist the Nong Zhigao uprising (1052). Repairs in the Ming and Qing Dynasties: It was reinforced with bricks in the first year of the Hongwu reign of the Ming Dynasty (1368), and was repaired many times in the Qing Dynasty. It still retains the architectural features of the Song and Ming Dynasties. Modern protection: It underwent a large-scale restoration in 1989 and is now a national key cultural relic protection site (listed in 2001). It is very suitable for sightseeing, vacation, and taking photos!
