Jianchang Nanchengzi. Located on the south bank of Erdaohézi in Jianchang Town, it was built in 1468 (the 4th year of the Chenghua reign in the Ming Dynasty). In 1575 (the 3rd year of the Wanli reign), Li Chengliang, the Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong, converted the Jianchang Fort into Jianchang City (i.e., Jianchang Nanchengzi). The city had a perimeter of 1,000 meters, with one gate each on the south and west sides, and small rivers at both the front and back. To the northwest, it connected to Yidu Wall Fort, and to the south, it linked to Gushan Fort, overseeing 17 beacon towers between Lanhe Valley and Weizi Valley.
