Ruins of Bohai's Central Capital

　　The site has a rectangular layout and is divided into an inner city and an outer city, reflecting the urban planning of Chang’an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The outer city measures approximately 720 meters in length and 630 meters in width. The inner city has a perimeter of about 2,000 meters and is further divided into southern and northern sections, with three palace ruins discovered along the central axis. The outer city has gates to the south and north, and a moat surrounds the city. In the southeastern part of the city, remnants of an artificial pond have also been found. Artifacts unearthed at the site include stone bases, roof tiles, and decorative bricks.

　　The discovery of the Bohai's Central Capital ruins provides valuable physical evidence for the study of urban life in China during the Tang Dynasty. (National Cultural Heritage Administration)
