East Gate Tower of Fenghuang

　　The East Gate Tower was first constructed in the 54th year of the Kangxi reign during the Qing Dynasty (1715). The lower part of the gate is built from purplish-red sandstone, while the upper tower structure is made of ancient bricks. The gate is 3.5 meters wide and 4 meters high, featuring a semi-circular arch. Both door leaves are covered with iron sheets and fastened tightly with round-headed iron nails, making the structure solid and sturdy.

　　The city wall is entirely constructed from red sandstone strips, meticulously cut and uniformly sized. The wall is 0.8 meters thick. Its lower section, both inside and out, is built with stone strips and lime mortar, with crushed stone and clay filled in between and compacted layer by layer. The middle filling material at the top is changed to a mixture of lime, pebbles, and yellow earth known as "sanhe tu" (three-material soil), about 0.33 meters thick, topped with layers of red sandstone blocks. The tower stands 11 meters tall, and above the main gate are eight gun ports. The roof features eaves with upturned corners, presenting an exquisite and magnificent sight.
