Beizhuangzi Ancient City in Changji

Beizhuangzi Ancient City in Changji is a cultural tourism attraction.

Beizhuangzi Ancient City in Changji is located to the north of Beizhuangzi in Zini Quanzi Township, Fukang City. The area features fertile land and crisscrossing rivers. As early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, ancestors thrived and practiced pastoralism here. After the opening of the Silk Road, it became an important transportation hub. The ancient city is roughly square-shaped, stretching 240 meters from north to south and 230 meters from east to west, standing 4 to 6 meters high with a base width of 10 to 15 meters. The city walls were built using rammed earth, and the perimeter was fortified with battlements. In the southwest corner, there is an earthen mound measuring 40 meters in length and 30 meters in width, which is the remnant of a corner tower. The remnants of the moat can still be identified to the south and west of the city, approximately 30 to 50 meters wide and 2 to 3 meters deep.
