Ruins of Yehe East City

The Yehe East City ruins were once the residence of the maternal grandfather of Emperor Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty and are historically known as Yehe East City. Remnants of the old city walls can still be seen at the current west gate. The Yehe East City ruins are locatedin Longshan District, Liaoyuan City, Jilin Provinceinside the west gate of Longshou Mountain Park.

The development plan for the Yehe East City ruins proposes dividing Longshou Mountain Park into two sections for improvement. The first involves developing and reconstructing Yehe East City to recreate the ancient city’s appearance. The second focuses on renovating and enhancing the infrastructure, supporting facilities, and service amenities across all scenic spots in Longshou Mountain Park to raise the overall standard.

Initial planning ideas for the development and reconstruction of Yehe East City: Restore the west gate of Longshou Mountain Park as the main gate of Yehe East City, and construct a 500 to 1,000-meter-long section of antique-style walls and watchtowers. Historical murals will be installed along the walls, depicting the rise and fall of Yehe East City in a comic-strip style. A scaled-down model of the entire city will be built at a suitable location near the park’s west gate, recreating the full layout and appearance of Yehe East City.

Initial ideas for restoring and improving various scenic spots in Longshou Mountain Park: First, continue upgrading the children’s playground and other attractions to enhance their facilities and overall quality. Second, renovate historical structures such as towers, pavilions, steles, and gates from different eras to restore their original appearances. Third, plans include constructing a downhill cableway on the southern side of Longshou Mountain Park, integrating it organically with the Dongliao River Water Park to create a scenic panorama where mountains and water connect seamlessly.
