Changji Beizhuangzi Ancient City

　　   Changji Beizhuangzi Ancient City is situated north of Beizhuangzi in Zini Quanzi Township, Fukang City. The region boasts fertile soil and an intricate network of rivers. As far back as the Spring and Autumn strategic period, early inhabitants thrived here through farming and herding. After the opening of the Silk Road, the site became a crucial transportation hub. The ancient city is roughly square-shaped, measuring 240 meters from north to south and 230 meters from east to west, with walls standing 4 to 6 meters high and 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 approximately 40 meters long and 30 meters wide, which is believed to be the remnant of a corner tower. Traces of the city’s moats can still be identified to the south and west, measuring about 30 to 50 meters in width and 2 to 3 meters in depth.
