About About the place

These cities were designed to be self-sufficient, and Shangqiu's example allows visitors to understand the complexities of life within these structures. While the site features an ancient aesthetic, the current experience primarily consists of shops and restaurants within the historical walls. It serves as a valuable lesson in ancient Chinese urban planning and defense strategies.
