This city is situated on the northern mountain peak of Group 3, Qiyi Village, Shoushan Town, Longshan District (also known as Chengzi Mountain Mountain City). The city was built along the natural terrain of the mountain, with relatively well-preserved city walls. The perimeter of the city is 726 meters, and the northern wall, built with rammed earth, is about 5 meters high, with a moat constructed outside the wall. Traces of corner towers can be found at the northwest and southwest corners. The north gate is 4 meters wide, while the south gate is 30 meters wide. Near the south gate, there is a well, and artifacts from the Liao and Jin dynasties have been discovered within the city. Judging from the scale and characteristics of the city’s construction, it likely served as a fortified settlement controlling a key transportation route, functioning as a military stronghold.
