The Qudaiyitage Garrison Fortress Ruins

The Qudaiyitage Garrison Fortress Ruins, [10 km northwest of the county town · Northern Dynasties · County-level Cultural Relics Protection Unit], is located on a “T-shaped” small ridge southeast at the foot of the Qudaiyitage Mountains, built along the mountain terrain. The entire structure is constructed with earthen bricks measuring 40 cm in length, 20 cm in width, and 5–9 cm in thickness, stretching 112 meters from east to west and 32.4 meters from north to south, covering an area of 3,608.8 square meters. It can be divided into two parts: the garrison fortress complex in the south and the protective wall and watchtower in the north. The southern wall base is about 0.7 meters wide, with several adjacent wall remnants on the eastern side, standing approximately 2.5 meters high, likely the remains of living quarters. The rest have collapsed severely and are difficult to identify. Artifacts collected from the surface include sandy red pottery shards, silk fragments, and wool felt.
