Héjiāng City Walls

Héjiāng City Walls

The Héjiāng City Walls are a cultural relic protected at the Sichuan provincial level.

In Héjiāng, nearly 2,000 meters of Ming dynasty city wall remnants still exist within the urban area, with sections in Zhāngjiāgōu, Héjiē, and Shuǐdòngjiē retaining their original appearance. The Qing dynasty White Pagoda, situated across the river from the county town, symbolizes the ancient Héjiāng county. Other historical sites include the Tang dynasty ruins of the Héjiāng county seat in Báishā Town, the Song dynasty ruins of Ānxī county seat in Jiǔzhī Town, the Róngshān fortress ruins in Róngyòu Township, the Ānlè Mountain fortress ruins in Héjiāng Town, the Yúntái Temple in the suburbs where Liù Zhēn of the Sui dynasty cultivated immortality, the Fǎwáng Temple — an ancient temple in southern Sichuan built around the Xuán Yuán era to the west of the county, the Míng dynasty stone-carved Liúbēi Pond to the south of the county, the Qīng dynasty cliff carvings of Xiá Dòng Cave, along with the Qīng dynasty streets and traditional houses within the city.

Protected area: an extension of 5 meters beyond the city walls at three segments — Zhāngjiāgōu, Xiàhéjiē, and Nánménqiáo.

Construction control zone: an additional 10-meter buffer beyond the protected area.
