The Five Dragons Wall in Xuanhua

The Five Dragons Wall in Xuanhua

The Five Dragons Wall in Xuanhua is a cultural relic protection unit of Hebei Province.

Among the many historical and cultural relics in the ancient city of Xuanhua, there is a brick-carved screen wall featuring a design with five giant dragons as its central motif, commonly known as the Five Dragons Wall. In 1982, it was listed as a provincial-level key cultural relic protection unit.

The Five Dragons Wall brick carving was once part of the original Mituo Temple. It is a hillside-style screen wall facing west and situated eastward. The brick carvings mimic wooden structures and employ relief and openwork carving techniques to highlight the patterns, thereby enhancing the three-dimensional effect of the images and creating a vivid, lifelike impression. It holds high artistic and aesthetic value.
