Everyone knows the Badaling Great Wall in Beijing. As the most outstanding representative of the Great Wall of China, the Badaling Great Wall is the Great Wall scenic spot that receives the most domestic and foreign tourists. It is also one of the must-visit places for tourists in Beijing.

As the saying goes: "If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a true man!" For no other reason, even if it is just for this heroic saying, you should not miss seeing the elegance of the Great Wall.

However, the city wall of Taizhou Prefecture, which is located near the sea in Zhejiang Province, stretches across Beigu Mountain and overlooks the Lingjiang River among the steep rocks. It is tall and majestic. Although it has been baptized by wind and rain for nearly 1,700 years, it still stands strong and is known as the "Jiangnan Badaling".

"Where to quench the Wu hook? The towering battlements rest on the blue stream. Just like a dragon and a pan ring around the north solid, on the top of the mountain, the first building in the southeast of Xiongzhen.

"The Great Wall of Taizhou City, also known as the Jiangnan Great Wall. According to historical records, it was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and expanded in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

A microcosm of history.

The Linhai area has always been an extremely important defensive barrier in eastern Zhejiang because it is backed by high and dangerous peaks and faces the surging Lingjiang River. It is a battleground for military strategists, but it is also often damaged by floods.

The city wall of Taizhou Prefecture has been demolished, rebuilt and repaired many times in history. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that it was reused because it was useful in preventing floods. In the Ming Dynasty, with the arrival of the famous anti-Japanese general Qi Jiguang, the ancient city wall along the coast finally took shape.

, gradually exerting its dual functions of military defense and flood control.

The anti-Japanese hero Qi Jiguang created the miracle of "nine battles and nine victories" in the history of the anti-Japanese war in Linhai, which is most directly related to the city wall of Taizhou Prefecture.

In the thirty-sixth year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (AD 1557), Qi Jiguang and Tan Zili, the then magistrate of Taizhou, worked together to repel the Japanese pirates who invaded Taizhou.

Qi Jiguang created here the original "double-layer enemy tower" military defense facility with a platform on the city and a building on the platform, setting the precedent for building an enemy tower in the Great Wall.

The city wall of Taizhou Prefecture has a well-chosen site and an exquisite design. It includes many elements such as walls, gates, towers, urns, moats, enemy towers, and crenelations. It is divided into two main defense units, the basic and the core. It not only has distinctive regional characteristics, but also has

It is an innovative and meticulous urban defense system.

With the subsequent continuous reconstruction and restoration, the Taizhou City Wall we see today still has more than 5,000 meters. It is the relatively well-preserved ancient city wall of the Ming Dynasty in China. It has promoted China's urban defense construction, flood control and

The perfection of military functions is like a museum and is of great research value.

In 2012, the Taizhou City Wall was officially included in the "China World Cultural Heritage Tentative List" as part of the "Chinese Ming and Qing City Walls" project.
