Chimney Mountain City

Chimney Mountain City is a cultural tourism attraction.

Chimney Mountain City is located on a flat area halfway up the mountainside, beneath a solitary peak on the western side of Chimney Mountain, about twenty li southeast of Gaizhou City. The site features remnants such as ancient city walls, old wells, temple foundations, and stone carvings. It was built in the eleventh year of the Wanli era during the Ming Dynasty, consisting of three levels of earthen walls: an outer city, an inner city, and a central city. This stone-built section of the wall served as a strategic barrier taking advantage of the mountainous terrain and functioned as a military fortress.
