The Ancient City Site of Puzhou

　　 The ancient city of Puzhou was the site of the Central Capital established in the ninth year of the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty (721 AD), and was subsequently renovated during the Jin, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The outer city wall of the Tang Dynasty Puzhou City had a circumference of approximately 5,700 meters, while the inner city wall of the Ming Dynasty Puzhou City measured about 5,400 meters. The brick city walls of the Ming Dynasty Puzhou City are well-preserved, and the four city gates in the east, south, west, and north remain in relatively good condition.

　　 Thanks to its well-preserved state, the ancient city of Puzhou holds an important place in the history of ancient urban development in China.
