Ancient City of the State of Chen

　　Located in Huaiyang County. The State of Chen was one of the Twelve Feudal States during the Spring and Autumn Period. Amid frequent warfare and annexations among the feudal lords, the State of Chen also built a city for self-defense. The current Huaiyang County urban area is the site of the ancient capital of the State of Chen, known as Chencheng, which later also served as the capital of the State of Chu. The remaining city walls are over 20 meters wide and stand more than 5 meters above the ground, with clearly visible rammed layers. The ancient city is square-shaped, with a perimeter of over nine li. To the west of the road outside the southern gate lies Xiangge Terrace, said to be the place where Confucius was besieged in Chen.
