About
Quick facts: The city wall stretches about 4 kilometers, surrounding 42 forts and gates. It features a unique and sturdy defensive design. This was once a strategic point, defending against invasions from three directions, and historically it has never been breached.
Highlights: The city gates use a multi-layered defense system, with thick stone walls and perforated arrow towers making the defense impregnable. Visitors can overlook the surrounding valleys from the blue stone-paved forts, feeling the tension of ancient battles.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as the ground inside the city consists mostly of uneven stones and steep slopes.
- Bring enough water since the fortress area is large and involves a lot of walking.
- Visit in the morning or evening to avoid the midday heat and enjoy soft lighting for photography.
- Explore near the South Gate where the carvings and defensive structures are the strongest and most intricate.
