Datong City Wall

The old city wall was built in Ming Dynasty about 600 years ago.

When we climb up the city wall ,we will enjoy the gate tower , a tall and magnificent building. The function of gate tower was mainly for the commanders to ascend the height to watch the enemy and command the battle.

Today ,the gate tower has become the best scenic spot for the tourists to ascend the height to overlook the scenery of the Datong ancient city.
