Ruins of Guangwu City

The ruins of Guangwu City are located 15 kilometers northeast of Chengkou Village, Chengkou Town, Wudi County, on the eastern bank of Gaotuozi River. According to the *Hai Feng County Annals*, it is said that during the early Western Han Dynasty, the general Li Zuoche, known as Guangwu Jun, once stationed here, hence the city was originally called Chewangcheng. During the Later Zhou and Tang dynasties, troops were also garrisoned here, and it served as a customs fortress and a key waterway transportation hub. Due to erosion by sea tides, the currently visible section covers approximately 200,000 square meters. The higher parts reach about 2 meters in height. Artifacts unearthed include bronze sword fragments from the Han Dynasty, pottery shards and iron smelting slag from the Qin and Han periods, as well as iron ore and stones. In September 1992, it was designated as a county-level cultural relics protection unit by the People's Government of Wudi County.
