Jin Dynasty Great Wall (Jin Dynasty Northeast Road Border Wall Relics). There is a section of 206.15-km-long Great Wall built in Jin Dynasty in Qiqihar City, which passes through Gangnan County, Nianzishan District and Longjiang County of Qiqihar City.
Jin Dynasty Great Wall was primarily built by the Nuchen people who compelled people of various nationalities in the construction in the 12th-13th century A.D.. The Great Wall started from the Nenjiang River bank of Northeast to the Great Bend of Huanghe River, which was a military fortification of more than 4,000 km long. The project was divided into three routes. The Jin Dynasty Great Wall section in Qiqihar City belonged to the section of Northeast Route, which was the earliest section of Jin Dynasty Great Wall. Jin Dynasty Government decided to assign General Po Luhuo to build the Great Wall and control the border in the 5th year of Tianfu's Reign (1121 A.D.), in order to consolidate their newly-expanded domains, defend the capital Shangjing of Jin Dynasty and continue to enlarge their victory and to prevent harries from the north. According to history, Po Luhuo made great achievements in controlling the border and was repeatedly commended and finally died at his post along the Great Wall. The main walls of the section of Jin Dynasty Great Wall in Qiqihar are high and complete.
There is a horse face outside the city moat, with garrison watchtower over the moat. There is a pathway for vehicles and horses in the wall. There are protection trenches outside the wall to protect the chief wall. According to requirements, the intermittent second and third trench walls are usually built outside the chief wall to strengthen the defence function. There are garrison castles for stationing of soldiers inside the wall. Therefore, the section of Jin Dynasty Great Wall in Qiqihar City is properly designed and constructed. Moreover, because the long-term desolation and rare human traces in Yuan Dynasty, it's well persevered with a complete and magnificent status quo. Because all the Binzhou Railway and Yalin Railway, Nianbei Highway and Yalu River waterway pass through the section in Nianzishan District of Jin Dynasty Great Wall, it's the best place for visit and sight-seeing. |
