Wall Remnant sights in Asia

  1. City Wall

    About 1km north of Folded Brocade Hill is the East Gate (东镇门; Dōngzhèn Mén), a part-reconstructed gateway flanked by crumbling sections of the original Song-dynasty city wall (城墙; chéng qiáng). Take bus 1, 2 or free bus 51 and get off at Dōngzhèn Lù, then turn right down the road of the same name. Alternatively it's a short walk or cycle north along the riverbank, just east of the entrance to Folded Brocade Hill. The gate lies on the northeast edge of Mùlóng Lake Park, which houses a pretty reconstruction of a Song-dynasty pagoda (木龙塔; Mùlóng Tǎ) and is a picturesque setting for Chinese classical music performances, held at 8pm every evening.
